linksys router, dropping offline?

[Kakarot]

I have to keep going into my router, releasing and renewing the dhcp....
or both machines fall offline (even the one wired).
I did the latest firmware.....
WRT54G

Sometimes its an hour, sometimes its minutes... but both go offline, and will not come back on until I release and renew in status....

it sucks, any input appreciated

I am on shaw.... so maybe I should take out the router, and try the modem for a day or 2... to see if it drops?

thx

What revision do you have?

I had the same problem with a rev 6 and I just flashed the DD-WRT Micro and it seems to be better.

Here's a link to the dd-wrt micro f/w.

This will void your warranty though if you brick it during the process so use at your own risk!

It also unlocks many features which are normally locked w/ the linksys firmware.
