Dead Router?

[Wossi]

I have a Linksys WRT54G running the DDRT firmware and lately I'm having trouble connecting my laptop using wireless. Since the modem is downstairs and the laptop is upstairs I have to use wireless which has been fine for ages now. But every so often I have to go and reset the router in order for me to connect to it otherwise it comes up with "Limited or no connectivity". The same thing happens on the spare laptop when I tried that

Is my router dead or is there a fix for this? If it is dead or dying can someone reccomend a new router that can be used with an ntl modem please.

If it's saying limited or no connectivity it sounds like it's connecting fine to the router, just not getting a reply from a DHCP server - which could be caused by a router on it's way out or loads of other things.
