If you haven't, I would try upgrading the firmware on the Linksys. Last
year, I had the displeasure of using a USRobotics router at my in-laws
that wouldn't hold an ssh session for more than a few minutes. This year,
they had finally released a software update that fixed the issue. The USR
actually worked well after the upgrade. (I wouldn't necessarily recommend
buying it though. Software updates are rare and I'm not convinced that
they really care much about that product line.)
