[TriLUG] OpenWRT Needs to Reboot?

[Randy Barlow]

Periodically, I need to reboot my Linksys WRT54Gv2 running OpenWRT 0.9 
(White Russian).  These reboots are necessary for one of two reasons: 1) 
the wireless stops working, and 2) my port forwarding rules stop 
working.  Rebooting the router (i.e., unplug and replug) always solves 
the problem, but I wonder why it happens at all in the first place. 
It's not all too often (probably once every 3-4 weeks) but when I'm away 
from my house and I can't get in to my machine because of the port 
forwarding problem it's frustrating.  Anybody else ever have this 
problem?  I suppose I could try a newer version of OpenWRT.  I've also 
considered reverting to Linksys' software and setting up a computer as 
the router (to implement more complex port forwarding rules, DNS, and QoS).
