Re: Linksys WRT54G v.5 help

If you do a google search for "WRT54G locking up" there are a number of hits that come up. (some related to torrenting actually)

Routers locking up from bittorrent are not unusual. I had a Netgear a couple years back that couldn't handle the traffic and got replaced. I think in the case of mine, the processor was just overwelmed, but I've heard of them suffering from heat build-up so you could always put a small fan next to it and see if that helps. (the simple fix try). You could also try to not torrent for a day or two at all (I know, it's rough) and see what happens. (simple fix try #2)

If you just bought this one, you might want to take it back. If you've had it for a while and it's worked until now...well,...anything you've done different recently?
