WNR3500L dropping connection for a few seconds during gaming

My router has always worked fine. Its currently running tomato 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-105 K26 USB BT-VPN. I am connected via LAN.

 

Lately, when I game, especially on dota 2, my connection will timeout for a few seconds. I usually move over to my second monitor and try my hardest to load a website until i notice it is back up. Sometimes its 3 seconds, sometimes its 10 or so. Just long enough to get me killed or drop me out of the game.

Started playing neverwinter recently and its doing the same thing.  I plugged straight into my modem and had no problems..  I also had laptop next to me running continuous ping on google. When the desktop went down, the laptop went down, so I know its the router.

 

Any ideas?

Just in case someone has the same problem.

I found a solution, i have no idea which of my actions worked, but all together it works.

Basically, i went down to shibby's 093 version.
(Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-093 K26 USB AIO)
It s been more stable for me.
I also disables WMM in the wifi parameter, and used channel 9 instead of auto.
QOS seems a bit different from the latest version, hard to say.
