    I'm still running RC4. When I first connect with Putty, I can cause the
    router to "stall" for about 10 - 15 seconds by sending a lot of data
    through. It's long enough to drop the Putty connection, but that's
    about it. The router doesn't reboot, and reconnecting with putty
    doesn't cause the problem again.

    I don't think so. It's obviously an issue with the router, but putty
    may be exacerbating it.
