Did my Linksys die?

[waycool]

My BEFW1154 DSL Router/switch is acting up.
If I unplug it for a min or 2 then restart it works fine but only
for a short time (5 min. max) then slows down to useless. The reset button dose nothing. Have to remove power then restart. I tried holding down the reset button for over 10 sec to reset. It cleared all the settings but still would not work very long, I even had a hard time with it working long enough to input the correct setting let alone surf the net. Any ideas???

Thanks

Sounds like a hardware issue. Have any power surges or anything lately that might have disrupted it? Is it getting hot when it's running for those 5 minutes?

It's not running hot, don't know of anypower surges. I'm in So.Cal so it wasn't lightning, the clocks are not flashing so no rolling black-out.

It's been unpluged for a couple of hours, I'm going to try resetting it a gain to see what happens.

I can do nat with linux box, but no wireless for now.
