I have finally found the reason why I had such problems with my WRT610N for the past few weeks. I hope this helps many of you with similar problem (not limited to WRT610N).
For the past few weeks, I was experiencing constant reboot, unstable wifi, slow wifi transfer speed (1-1.5MB/sec), etc. I spent hours and tried literally everything.
Upgraded to DD-WRT (5 different versions), Reinstall windows, and all the usual sing and dance listed below.
To make a long story short, it seems that my AC Adaptor was burning hot and supplying not enough juice to the router. Upon replacement with more highly rated AC, I noticed ROCK solid connection to all my Ethernet port, Dual radio bands and many other settings. My wifi transfer rate has gone from 1-1.5MB/s to 8.5-9.5MB/s.
Ebay currently sells 5A 120-240V adaptors for 9.99, for those who are interested. Or try any spare AC you may have (rated higher of course).
I hope this helps some of you out there!

I currently have:
PC, VOIP phone, 2 Wifi Laptops connected to this router.
Whenever I connect my PC through CAT5, the router keeps resetting and I am unable to connect. I tried disabling VOIP and 2 Wifi; tried different Port, but still no connection.
I tried Hard reset, soft reset, PC reboot, all the drivers & firmware updated (both Ethernet and Router)
If the PC is not connected, the VOIP phone and wifi devices work great. As soon as the PC is plugged in, it resets every 10 sec.
I tried PCI Ethernet card (as I was using integrated port before), and the problem still remains.
The problem is not the cable(tried swapping), ISP, router, nor the ethernet on my PC.
Do you think it's the OS itself causing my router to reboot? My PC is due for a format but I rather not, if not neccessary.
