dd-wrt

Ok so I have a Linksys WRT-54G v4 running the latest version of DD-WRT (just downloaded it last week to try to fix the problem)

There is consistently about 750kbs coming into the router but from what I can tell, it's not going anywhere inside the LAN or WLAN. I'm also having alot of network dropouts while I'm listening to music or watching video over the network.

The traffic is coming in even if there are no computers on the network (turned them all off)

What can I do to fix this problem? Here is a screenshot:
