Problems with Linksys WAG354G (the silver one)

I've had problems with the above units failing to maintain a DSL
connection - the 'internet' light simply goes out or goes red. When it
works it's fine, but after a period it just drops the connection, and
while it can sometimes be cycled to force a reconnection this doesn't
always work.

I've used the hardware on different ADSL lines with different
hardware connected, but the result is always the same. All 5 of a batch
that I bought in the UK in November 2005 have displayed this problem
- does anybody else have similar experiences to share?

I'm an engineer/reseller, BTW, so I'm looking at hardware/firmware
issues, rather than basic configuration tips.

TIA

Apparently your experience is a common one. Some reviews of the
WAG354G seem to report similar ADSL problems:

Sorry, no suggestions.

I've the same Linksys router. Only one time I had a red led and no
internet connection for about one hour.
I've contacted their support but after one week I received an email to
call back by telephone, so that they could help me re-establish my
connection which, by then , was allready up and running.
I've updated the firmware from 01 to 05 (latest) and had not a single
problem since then.(you can find it at their FTP site)
I've reconnected my old USB ADSL modem and in case the problem
returns, I can check with this modem if it's not a problem with my
ISP.
