The common factor here is Linksys Post v4 routers. I've heard of a new micro version of DD-WRT that can run on these newer routers, we won't buy a WRT54G post v4 ever again. We have gone to paying the extra money to put in a WRT54GL in, we have not have any headache's from them. Just recently we purchased a batch of WRV200's to try out for customers as they were $2 cheaper than the WRT54GL, so far so good, but then again sometimes it takes a while for problems to show up.
