found this on a newsgroup re bad firmware updates recommending DOWNGRADING to v1.45.7, Dec 30 2003 version.
text follows.
I've tried upgrading to the latest Firmware from the linksys site
(1.52.18 is the current version) - but I'm still having problems....
The BEFSX41 is a tragic beast. It is a fabulous piece of hardware that
never had firmware that really did it justice. I am going to suggest
you try the v1.45.7 firmware revision. All the 1.5.x versions of the
firmware have definite showstopper bugs in them & 1.45.7 seems to be
the most trouble-free of all the firmware revisions available.
Thanks for the advice on the firmware. I was mistaken before, I was in
fact using 1.52.10 (I had previously been using 1.50.18 and I tried to
upgrade to Linksys's latest firmware to see if that would fix my
problem - it did not).
So I reverted to the v1.45.7, Dec 30 2003 version. I could not find
this version on the Linksys website - so I got it from here:
http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,9086151
There is discussion of the most stable firmware version (from Jan
2003!) here:

They also suggest 1.45.7 (or 1.51.0 - with the new UI).
