G 1.5.8, WNDR3700v2 -- wireless needs frequent reset

Router is WNDR3700v2. Using dual-band. Gargoyle 1.5.8.

Every few days, or after a night of BitTorrent activity, the router stops accepting new connections with wireless clients. To remedy, I reboot or change the wireless channel.

I never had this problem with the original Netgear firmware. It seems unlikely to be a problem with Gargoyle itself -- Is it a known problem with the beta version of OpenWRT?

Sounds like maybe you are running out of connections.

When the router next gets in this state copy and post the status page.

Here's what I see:

Gargoyle Version:1.5.8
Model:NETGEAR WNDR3700v2
Device Configuration:Gateway
Memory Usage:18.7MB / 60.3MB (31%)
Connections:238/4096
CPU Load Averages:0.11 / 0.04 / 0.05 (1/5/15 minutes)

I believe that THIS is the problem:

Will try to upgrade to 1.5.9.

After the upgrade to G 1.5.9 (from 1.5.8), the router has been connecting authorised wireless clients without a problem for more than 10 days.
