I just want to share a dirty solution with everybody. I'm experience the same problem as everyone... from time to time, the internet gets really slown, or just disapears... after rebooting, everything works fine again.
My solution was quick and dirty... a python script that reboots the wrt260n from time to time... I put it to run every 6 hours on my appletv running linux, and works great so far...
this is the python script... just copy/paste the code under the "----8<-----" line in a file named rebootWRT160N.py and run... if you're running windows, just install python from python.org, and double click the rebootWRT160N.py file to test. I suppose you can schedule the script to run from time to time on windows, but I'm not sure how...
after you execute the script, the router will reboot.
have fun and let me know if this helps!! (maaan... I love python!!)
Haaa... almost forgot... don't forget to change the passwd and ip address for the correct ones in your system.
----------8<-------------------8<-------------------8<----------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib
def reboot( url ):
query_args = { 'action':'Reboot' }
encoded_args = urllib.urlencode(query_args)
print urllib.urlopen(url, encoded_args).read()
reboot( 'http://adminasswd@192.168.1.1/apply.cgi' )

Here is a second version, where you just need to pass the passwd and the ip to the reboot function. (this should fix the emoticon icon that was showed in the previous post )
----8<-------8<---------8<----8<-------8<---------8<----8<-------8<---------8<-----
#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib
def reboot( passwd='admin', ip='192.168.1.1' ):
url = 'http://admin:%s@%s/apply.cgi' % (passwd, ip)
query_args = { 'action':'Reboot' }
encoded_args = urllib.urlencode(query_args)
print urllib.urlopen(url, encoded_args).read()
reboot( 'passwd', '192.168.1.1' )

Had the same problem myself.
Note: There is no DD-WRT firmware for the Version 2 or version 3 of the WRT160N routers
Looks like a memory leak or not enough memory installed.
Had mine hooked to a light timer, it shut it down every day at 4 AM.
New firmware (version 15) is available, and seems to be stable. Up for 24 and no problems....
