[geeks] Home router/firewall (Linksys lockups)

[Kevin]

Most Linksys routers (and even some dumb hubs) seem to "lock up"
and have to be power cycled every so often.  I (as have
others) have observed this behavior under various conditions with
various pieces of Linksys hardware.

Does this firmware fix those types of issues as well?
