We're getting poor performance in our new home, I think because of all the other 802.11b signals in the area. I'm going to fiddle with this RTS/CTS & fragmentation crap and see if anything helps.

As shipped the Linksys firmware crashes under heavy P2P network traffic, such as BitTorrent. The reason for this crash is that Linksys has programed the router to keep track of old connections for 5 days. This 5 day limit quickly overwhelms the router when there are a high number of network connections, such as with BitTorrent, and can only be resolved by power cycling the router. For a detailed tutorial on how to permanently fix this issue on a pre-v5 router see the uTorrent FAQ.
I'll be damned. I get this all the time. Maybe I can fix it!

However, this is not the problem I am facing now, as I haven't used BT in over a month.
