overheating problems (was Praise for Linksys)

[http://www.screw.csoft.net/~robert (Robert)]

I was having a problem where I had to reset every 10 minutes or so.  It
turned out that, because I placed the router on top of another router, it
was overheating and causing failures.  Once I rearranged things, it's now
working great.  (I guess this is ultimately a bad design. :-( )
