My Linksys router frequently stops wireless broadcasting

[pacmannia]

My Linksys WRT54GC (version2) model router frequently stops wireless broadcasting and I have to unplug and replug the power cable to connect again.
After some time, it again suddenly stops wireless broadcast until it's repowered.

I've been having this problem for over 2 weeks now and tried the latest firmware upgrade and resetted the router for countless times but couldn't solve the problem.

Anyone, has experience in this issue, has any reccomendation ?

It a really old router.
A side question, how can I search for wifi networks in Windows 7.

@chev65: my pc's mac adress is already cloned to router and this option is on. i don't think it has sth. to do with the problem. any other suggestions?

@yousaf465: it's not a side question. please ask it somewhere else. this issue is not ressolved yet.

it might also be hardware problem, did you try another router, with similar setting. Also ddwrt might also be helpful
