The default firmware for Linksys (and all replacement firmwares except for one) have a severe problem where they track old connections for FIVE days, which causes the router to hang when using P2P apps, or any software that generates a lot of connections. DHT only aggravates the situation because of the number of connections it generates.

Linksys has yet to address this issue, but there is a fix. If you use alternative firmware, you can put in a start-up script to fix this problem.

Goto http://www.polarcloud.com/tofu/ and download the latest firmware for your Linksys WRT54G/GL or WRTSL54GS router.

Go to the web interface (default password is admin) by typing http://192.168.1.1 into your browser.
Click Administration, then Edit Startup. Put the following commands in the box:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses
echo "600 1800 120 60 120 120 10 60 30 120" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeouts

Click Save, close the window, then click Save settings.
Reboot the router (the Administration page has a Reboot button) and you'll be done.
Hi jrolson85, I tried the fix you mentioned. The new firmware installed fine. I then copied the script above into the start up script space. Sadly, when I rebooted, my router is now complete unusable. I even tried pushing the reset button on the router to try to get back to square one to no avail. Is there any way to salvage my router?

Any help would be appreciated.

Dave
