Flashing my Linksys is also on my wish/todo-list. There's much discussion 
about running Firewall Builder in that environment, and how much more capable 
your firewall can be using that scenario. There's links to that information 
from the Firewall Builder web site. 

I'm also wondering how you've concluded, John, that it's the load causing your 
Linksys to die. I too have a problem of frequently losing the connection 
between my wireless devices and the router, which is cured by a reboot. I got 
around to looking up troubleshooting faqs on the Linksys website yesterday, 
and they specifically suggested the possibility of wireless phone system 
interference (wireless home phone system, not cell phone). They suggested 
changing the Linksys channel from the default 6 to either channel 1 or 11 -- 
I've set mine to 11 and so far, so good - it's only been about 36 hours, so 
it's a bit early to tell.
