Have you downloaded the most current firmware from Linksys and flashed that 
into the router? That's the first thing I would do. Even if you are runnning 
the latest version, it may have become corrupted somehow.

Unles you want to try one of the many third-party firmwares available for that 
unit (assuming it is one of the Linux-based ones, some recent ones are not).

But I wouldn't try a 3rd-party F/W unless the unit works properly with the 
manufacturer's software.
