Linksys router drops on too much traffic

[news]

(If someone can point me to a more appropriate newsgroup for this
question, if there is one, I'd appreciate it.)

I have two machines, a wireless laptop and a CAT-5'ed PC, behind a
Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless-B router/NAT on a cable broadband connection.

And it seems everytime we try to view streaming video or music, the
connection drops and I have to power cycle the router (unplug it for 20
seconds) to get the connection back. For example, MSN video or XM Radio
on the Web.)

I have the latest firmware on the router, and the PC's are running XP
Pro SP2 with all the latest updates. I've looked at all the router's
settings, but can't find anything that seems to apply.

Anyone have any suggestions of what to look at, what to check?
Thanks!
Liam
