Martouf at gmail.com reported on my blog today the following mitigation:

"I own a pair of Buffalo Tech WZR-HP-G300N which arrived with DD-WRT 
v24SP2-EU-US (08/19/10) std (SVN revision 14998) installed (linux kernel 
2.6.24).

I found the default txqueuelen of 1000 on its interfaces and suffered 
from all sorts of network “badness” among the household of game systems 
(sony and nintendo), NAS device, WDS link between WZRs and personal systems.

I have had good success by storing the following commands in nvram 
rc_startup:
ifconfig ath0.1 txqueuelen 8
ifconfig ath0 txqueuelen 8
ifconfig wifi0 txqueuelen 8
ifconfig eth0 txqueuelen 20
ifconfig eth1 txqueuelen 20"
