Linksys got back to me. They sugget that I change the MTU settings
(Maximum Transmission Unit), starting
at 1500 (for cable modem - 1492 for DSL), and then dropping it by 20
byes at a time down to minimum of 576.
Yikes. Sounds like this would take me a couple of hours of fiddling
with the model settings. How about I just
buy an inexpensive modem that actually JUST WORKS.

They claim that perhaps I have a "hardware problem". Though loading
the old firmware seems to be more stable than
the newest version.

I had a pair of these, used for vpn remote to an office and had heat
problems with both units. I gave up after a year (and after applying the
latest flashes and switched to a pair of SMC units (no trouble since!)
