I hope you'll excuse my revival of a question from a recent thread.

I seem to have this problem too. Every hour or two, all traffic between any
wireless client and the WRT54G stops for some 10-60 seconds, and then
starts working again. This causes most long-lived connections such as IRC,
Jabber, and SSH to disconnect. Highly annoying. Through-out the "dead"
period I can ping the router fine, with no packet loss.

This sounds promising, but after exhaustive searches through the web
interface, I simply cannot find any timeout setting anywhere. My Linksys is
revision 2.2, and the firmware is Sveasoft Alchemy-V1.0 v3.37.6.8sv. Does
this setting translate to some file in /proc or similar on the router, so
that I can change it through SSH instead? Or is there something else I can
do to make the disconnects go away?
Thanks in advance!
