I'm using an HP Vectra VE running Debian (I used an FC3 beta for a 
while) for my AP/router. It has two NICs plus a prism54-based wireless 
card and a modem.

I've  never had the kinds of problems you have, but then I never have 
more than three clients, have never used BT - but I have transferred 
some fairly hefty files over it.

My boss has had problems with his wireless, using Airport Extreme and OS 
X clients. He want to know where his DSL bandwidth was going. Turned out 
his wireless was going very slowly.


btw There is also third-party slushware for your linksys. Google some 
more for it.
