Actually, I think the problem may be neighbors using wireless.. though
the only SSIDS i can see our wireless G (I am/was using wireless A).
It could be that someone has their SSID hidden and has recently gotten
and using the A band I guess.


Weird part is.. since I switched back to channel 6 (wireless turbo G),
the same port I can clearly see a neighbor or two definitely using, I
have not had the router lockup (3 days now), whereas with the A, it was

locking up nearly every day.


I'm still convinced it must be a wireless clash though.

Actually.. mine was replaced already.. due to the same problem.

Since disabling all wireless on it.. it hasnt locked up (I just ran a
long network cable instead, for now).

Thanks
