root at router's password:
BusyBox v1.00 (2004.12.04-16:43+0000) Built-in shell (ash)

~ # uptime
  14:03:56 up 7 days, 22:51, load average: 0.06, 0.01, 0.00

That's my WRT54G. The only reason it only has 7 days of uptime is 
because I was re-arranging power cords and such. Prior, I think I had 
something like 21 days uptime. I've never had it lock up on me at all.
