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.
  
I also have had a WRT54G almost since they first came out. As you say overheating can cause damage that takes a while to appear however before throwing it away, I'd try reloading the firmware - it could be something that has been corrupted due to a power spike.
