As much as I like and use Linksys wired products, I have had ZERO luck with their wireless stuff. Problems similar to those described here. APs dying for no apparent reasons, Wi-Fi going down, again, inexplicably. I finally solved the problem by completely abandoning all Linksys wireless hardware and going with all Orinoco.
