Sounds like Linksys may have improved their products. Mine was a wireless
router purchased in 2001 and it had the lockup issue and had to be rebooted
frequently.

My D-Link is 2 years old. Its been perfect except for a recent firmware
upgrade that is causing it to attempt to assign the same IP address to
multiple machines. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
