Just an FYI, I'm running a Compaq CPW Wireless Router and it has this problem. I'll troll the setup pages tonight to see if I can find a keep alive value. I would also say the main difference between linksys and cisco is one is a home networking product and the other is probably commercial. You've got to skimp where you can to make up the margin. :)
