Linksys BEFW11S4 hangs with streaming audio

I am using a BEFW11S4 (V4 firmware 1.52.02) and Windows XP SP2 and
more times than not the BEFW11S4 hangs if I listen to streaming audio,
e.g. Amazon.com music clips, or Windows Media Player Radio. I read
somewhere to disable UDP and Multicast in the Media Player, but that
does not seem to help. When the router hangs the only way to access
the Internet again is to power cycle it. My Westell 2100 (Bellsouth)
is set in bridged mode and simply acts as a modem and does not need to
be reset. Other than this quirk the router works great for wired
(static IP) and wireless (DHCP) access.
Should I back off to a previous version of the firmware? Any settings
in the BEFW11S4 that I should make sure are enabled or disabled? Use
the BEFW11S4 as a doorstop and buy a new wireless router? :-) I have
the larger antennas and I have wireless access all throughout my
house. I'd hate to lose that ability.
