I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL flashed with the latest version of dd-wrt. Lately the internet browsing has become really slow and unresponsive. This happens randomly so I can't really pinpoint what is causing it. In order for the internet to work again, I would have to manually reset the router or reboot the router from the router page. The router is connected with a tv which is constantly streaming, a computer and a few wireless devices. Could it be time to replace the router or there may be other issues that I overlooked?

Sounds close to what I've been seeing with mine (running tomato instead), although it hasn't gotten to the point of having to reboot the router yet. I have a feeling it's on the cable co side of things but I just decided to replace mine since typical real world g speed isn't enough to max my current level of service anymore and they've been running for 10+ years so it is possible it's on my side.
