looks like my wireless router has been exploited. Any Ideas?

Model: Linksys wrt54g Firmware: DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/10/06) micro



For a while now I've noticed my wireless connection disconnecting at odd times. Recently connected to the wireless router and saw that limited or no connectivity message. I was unable to get rid of it short of a hard reset to the router. After setting the router up again I made a backup of the configuration. The firewall on the router is set up so it was surprising to see attempts from the outside to connect to my computer. After noticing that the firewall was not working I backed up the current settings to compare with the earlier settings. It looks like something new has been added to the configuration. Something called Ort has been added with a strange ASCII character that means End Of Transmission. Does anybody know what to make of this.
