Quite common. The router can be made much more reliable by turning off its firewalling, and just having it forward all traffic to one PC. Then that one PC has to do the firewalling and routing.
Off-topic, but then you don't need the router, only a decent wifi and ehternet card
]]>I'm too busy at the moment to test this, but as soon as I can get some time I'll give it a go. I'm currently using DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/15/06) vpn (SVN revision 3932).
]]>I have a couple routers running DD-WRT. I am running a Netgear N600, which allows me to use the mega build and and external USB drive. I have enough room to run a full bash shell and loads of command line tools on the router. Which build are you running on your router (micro, mini, mega)? Are you running DD-WRT "Vintage" drivers?
Have you tried logging into the router through telnet or ssh to see if you can find anything untoward in the logs or process lists? Also, check your memory usage.

Furthermore, this affects all other computers on the LAN as well. Release and renew of IP via DHCP fails most of the time (times out). When it is successful, connectivity is absent or substantially degraded (even the web GUI for the router fails to load). The only effective solution is to power cycle the router, which does fix the problem....until I download another torrent. Any ideas what might be causing this to happen?
