The Linksys WRT54Gx range is known to have a problem with connections dropping if P2P is heavily used, because Netfilter by default keeps track of connections no longer being used for 5 days, which quickly overwhelms the router. This was the case with the original Linux-based firmwares, although not sure whether the VxWorks firmware has resolved this. 3rd-party firmwares don't have the issue at all.

Not sure if the Belkin routers suffer the same flaw, but might be worth looking into.
