    And I have to restart the router for it to reactivate. I just got this router a month or two ago, because the WRT54G I once had was doing the same. Intelligent me gets the same router twice.

    Any suggestions on what I can do? I upgraded firmware to the latest. I changed Wireless Channel from 6, as of this moment, will test future with this.

    Tomato or DDWRT recommended?

    Tomato would be better. DD-WRT is rather heavy and WRT54GL doesn't have RAM to spare.
    What's your networking setup?
