Is it okay to create a tag for a specific class of problem?

I've recently noticed 4 different questions that come down to "I've noticed that I get full speed from my Linksys Wi-Fi AP right after I reboot/reset/reconfigure it, but after a few minutes it goes back to being slow". I don't know if they're all going to come down to the same root cause, so I don't want to mark them as exact duplicates of each other. But to keep them all related to each other, I was considering creating a tag like "linksys-slowdown" and tagging them all with it.

Would that be an acceptable way to go? It seems like most tags are the names of certain technologies or products, and I don't recall seeing tags for certain classes of problems, so I thought I'd ask.

For the curious:
odd wifi speed issue - after reset runs at 10mb+, after 5 minutes back to 0.5mb
Wireless from 54mbps to 1mbps
Slow connection on WRT160N or WRT54G
How can I make wireless transfers faster on a Linksys WRT54G running DD-WRT?
