Don’t Buy Linksys Routers
By the way, when I said the other day “[d]amn you Linksys, you’ve screwed me again!” the reason it was “again” was because of this well known, well documented issue that they haven’t bothered to fix on routers that they continue to sell. When using the wireless features of the Linksys WCG200 combination cable modem/router, the unit stops working under heavy load and requires a manual reset. This will happen extremely frequently if you’re a heavy Internet user.
The fact that they continue to sell the modem is baffling. Don’t buy products from Linksys, they don’t support them and their offshore tech support is extraordinarily difficult to deal with.

whose, then? I’ve never had a router that didn’t require periodic resetting under heavy load.

This one can’t handle online video or torrent traffic. It’s a reproducible issue. I can crash the router within two minutes. If you’re a heavy user, it’s going to need to be reset dozens of times a day.
I can offer no alternatives, however.
