Had three V7 units all the same so I email linksys who confirmed there are known issues with the V7 and told me to take it back for a refund so that is what I did yesterday! If you got a plasterboard house then you may be lucky otherwise do a google and see for yourself!

I need to find a quality router now!

Just to add the V1-V4 were supposed to be the best models of the WRT54G. V5 & V6 had less memory and came with a different firmware version. The V7 is basically a tottaly different router in the same case!
amazon dont tell you what version it is ?

what router would you suggest then ?
