I didn't have this problem before but when I started playing Counter-Strike again, the whole Internet crashes. I then have to have the router reconnect. It usually happens when I or my brother load 2800-3600 servers up in the server list. I figured out that when it happened, the router's memory usage maxes out and the whole router resets itself. I can't really find a way to make it use less memory and it already uses 75-90% of it's memory doing practically nothing.

I ruled out other clients like wireless users because I disabled wireless. I left most settings on the router the same except for clock speed and maybe a few QOS things (might look into that). Tried closing my brother's chatting apps and it didn't do a thing. I need to find out ways to reduce memory usage on my router.

Router: Linksys WRT54G V2.2
Firmware: DD-WRT v24 SP1

i had the same problem with my DD-WRT WRT54GL going on, so i did a little research and come up with a nice solutin: ipcop > a dedicated old pc machine that i had in spare (Pentium III 733MHZ, 2x256SD-RAM, 6GB 2.5" Notebookhard disk ide with adaptor, 125Watts Psu, 2x intel ethernet card and a matrox graphical adatper pci)
my ipcop is a router and proxy at the same time, it filters..
easy to use via web interface and good hardware support

i build in total 10 of them for local "Youth clubs" and friends of mines to stay 24/7 connected within more than 10 clients behind the router
