The WAG54G was a complete piece of crap. I returned mine to Linksys and they replaced it with a WRT54GL (I think - it's not at my house so I can't check) and that's been rock solid. I've also got an early WRT54GS running Sveasoft firmware, and that's a fine piece of kit. I understand your concern, but in my experience Linksys are generally OK - apart from the WAG54G which is/was a POS.
