Dead Linksys Router?

Hi there,

I'm running a W54RTG or whatever it's called, that popular 802.11g Linksys router. Anyhow, it served me well for about 2 years, but now it seems to "kill" my internet connection every 4 or 5 hours or so. I upgraded the firmware to the latest version, but still, I wake up in the morning and find the torrents going no where, I can't load google, etc., BUT my LAN is still functioning. Whenever I unplug the router and plug it in back in, everything goes back to normal. Is this a dead router? Anyone know of a work around?
 
Strangely enough, this is a well-known problem. You might want to look here for a nice fan-made firmware that fixes the problem.
