Sounds like your router is crashing. Wireless interfaces in wireless routers are often semi-autonomous, and can keep beaconing and responding to probe requests (scans), even if the firmware code running on the main CPU in the router has crashed.

I can't explain what changed in your network environment 15 days ago to explain it, but it's probably not worth trying to debug Linksys's firmware for them. They probably haven't updated the firmware for that unit in years. They don't care about whether their ancient discontinued stuff crashes when faced with the latest 802.11 clients and protocols.

If you want to keep the router, consider loading an open source firmware image onto it. Maybe an open source firmware distribution won't be so crashy. A popular choice is DD-WRT.

Or, look at this as a sign that it's time to upgrade. Your WRT54GSv4 was obsolete the day it was made, because 802.11n came out in early 2007. 802.11g is from early 2003. So you're stuck on 11-year-old technology. Since mid 2013, there are great options for 1300mbps 802.11ac gear. Since you seem like a guy who goes a long time between upgrades, I recommend that you buy dual-band concurrent, 3 spatial stream (1300mbps) 802.11ac AP ($180), and maybe some good USB 802.11ac Wi-Fi adaptors ($70) for the laptops that can benefit from it.

  So I guess the solution would be to restart it whenever this happens. Is DD-WRT safe, I have heard it can brick your device, is it true? I may also consider upgrading to 802.11 ac as all devices support it. I would just need the usb adaptor for the old desktop right?

  Yes, you can brick a device by making a mistake when flashing it. If you don't feel comfortable following the flashing instructions, then aftermarket firmware is not for you. But who cares if you brick a 7 (really 11) year old box that crashes every two weeks? It's already trash. If you want to upgrade a desktop to 802.11ac, Asus makes a 3-stream (1300Mbps) PCIe card, which is probably a better choice than a USB dongle, for a desktop.

  I think I just realized what might be causing this, hot temperatures! My city just touched 46.6 degree C today. The modem is indoors in a not very cool area, so I guess its at 40 C and that may be the reason is fails.
