I've been using a Linksys wireless router, a WRT54G with firmware version
v8.00.0. It's worked for years, but lately, it has been stopping, and I've
needed to unplug it, count to 10, replug it to get my line working again.

Last November, we had a short discussion on this list about this router, and
how it slowly cooked itself to death. Is is reasonable to assume that my router
is "done". If so, what is a similar router good for and eCS user? I'd like to
get a cheap, yet reliable router.

Although I don't use the Linksys WRT54G in my own setup, I have 4 or 5 of them in various AARP Tax-Aide locations.  So far they have been reliable.  I stay away from the V7 models because they cannot all be loaded with DD-WRT.  I have picked up a couple of spares off of eBay for $20 - 35, which I think is pretty reasonable.
