Problem for Linksys Wireless-G WRT54GX Router (WRT54GX2)

Linksys WRT54GX2 constantly disconnects

I have had a WRT54GX2 router for over a year now, almost never a problem. All of a sudden in the last day or so the router would constantly shut off and back on again. I noticed that anytime a wireless device tries to connect to the router, the router resets itself, its as if you unplug it and plug it back in, all the lights flash off and it connects again and it goes off again. When it reconnects the connection lasts a few seconds, once I was able to log onto my PS3 account wirelessly during that reconnect for a few seconds, it seemed to work great until it lost the access point cause the router reset again.

I have unplugged the router multiple times. I have connected my computer directly to the line and my internet works fine, in fact the router works fine as long as no wireless device tries to connect with it. I have updated the fireware on the router. I have reset it, reconfigured it, nothing seems to work, I have no clue what to do.

-   I'm still running Firmware 1.01.14 and have been experiencing the same problems you've observed over the past ten days. The cycle includes regular dropouts on the wireless connection, and periodic resets of the WR54GX2. It has gone from being a very robust unit (have had it for about two years) to one which appears to be fading. Perhaps a component failure - as they're generally "on" all the time, there may be some thermal impacts affecting specific components, bringing them to a state where there behaviour becomes marginal. If the unit continues to get progressively worse, I would suggest that this then points that much more to a (or several) failing component(s). -   Guest

I just upgraded from firmware version 1.01.14 to 1.01.22 and I have the same problem, the router just keeps resetting itself. I think the solution is to go back to the old firmware, but I haven't been able to find a copy yet, Once I find firmware version 1.01.14 for the WRT54GX2 router. I will let you know if this is the solution... :)
