Is my Router dying?

I have a Linksys WRT54G v5 that's about 3 years old.
Yesterday, the wireless slowed to a crawl. No matter what the device was (laptops, 360, ipod touch) anything involving the wireless network was impossibly slow. Pages open slower than a 56K connection, streaming to the 360 is impossible, moving a 4MB file across the network took like 30 minutes.
The desktop computer that's wired into the router is completely fine, blazing fast, etc.
I've tried power cycling it, restoring defaults, upgrading the firmware. None of it changed a thing.
So am I boned? New router time?

Same problem. Ethernet is fine, but anything wireless takes forever

I don't know a lot about custom firmwares. guess I'll look into that
A (cell)phone, microwave, whatever?
We haven't bought anything electronic lately, but I live in a college town with tons of other apartments nearby
It's called the channel in the wireless settings. Defaults to 6 usually.

Went in and decreased the values for Beacon Interval, Fragmentation Threshold, and RTS Threshold. Worked instantly
