CNet Wireless-G Router CWR-854 Issues

Alright dudes.
I got myself the aformentioned router from Komplett last week and it was working fine for the first few days.
It seems that when I fire up Bittorrent, the router freezes after about two minutes and both my desktop and laptop loose connectivity. Once I reboot it, its fine and both computer will connect again. Is this because router cant handle all the incoming connections? Is there a solution to it? I did a search on the forum and couldnt find anything.
I didnt bother forwarding any port because there didnt seem to be a need. I was getting the same speeds I would usually get without the router.
Im running XP pro and Im with Irishbroadband (a perfect connection despite what the masses on boards have to say about them )
Apologies if its the wrong forum.

Have you tested using Bittorrent without the wireless router again to confirm that it's the wireless router that's causing the problem?
Is it only with bittorrent that the issue arises?
Which Bittorrent client?
What mode is the wireless router set up? (i.e. Is it acting as bridge?)
Have you checked for a firmware upgrade for the router?
What wireless card are you using? (Checked for updates also?)

Ive tested bittorrent without the router and it works fine. It even works fine with the network cable plugged in.
It seems to be arising only when bittorrent is running, but today the desktop wasnt even picking up a signal whereas yesterday I was getting an "excellent" signal.
Im using Bitcomet.
Im using the router as an "internet gateway" if that answers your question.
Ive checked for firmware upgrades for both the router and wireless cards.
Any suggestions?

run NetStumbler or Kismet... Change router channel (Even if nothing is detected at the time of running the app.).
Reasoning: could just be a coincidence & it seems to stretch to a rather more geeral wireless connection issue... interference a possibility..
