Router Being Stupid?

I have a Linksys WRT54G2 wireless router. I got it last month and so far everything was fine till about two days ago. I have a laptop hooked up wireless. I then have a desktop, 360, and switch back between a PS2 and another 360 that are all hardwired.
Lately when I have them all running the minute the second 360 goes online I get booted off mine. Also randomly I will get booted off both 360's. If I have the second 360 on of course the PS2 is not hooked up since I switch the CAT5 cable between them. If either 360 acts up I reset the router and modem and all is well.
The only thing I can think of is in the morning the PS2 is hooked up, then in the evening without resetting the cable modem or router I pull the plug on the PS2 and switch it over to the second 360. Could this be my problem? If it is is there anyway I can switch them out without having to reset the cable modem every time?

My guess is the router is fine and the xboxes are just being petulant little children and stealing an IP from eachother because they can't share nicely.
