Reset of router

[Vic Dickey]

I have had the same problem with the Linksys WRT54G v2 since new. Six months
ago a relitive suggested that I install OpenWrt in the WRT54G router.  It
was easy and the results were outstanding. I believe I have needed to
reconnect to the ISP only two times in the Six months. Try it out by
downloading OpenWrt <http://openwrt.org/>.
