I finally fixed my p2p hungry network, are you running multiple computers running limewire, bitorrent, azureus, KCeasy, DC++, kazaa ect... and noticing slow page loads / downloads? it might be your router reaching its Maximum Ports threshold / unneeded inactive connections.

Scroll down to Solution 1 and try it

(if your firmware wont let you change it you need to flash to DD-WRTs firmware)

I think its about time for me to flash my WRT54G to DD-WRT :) . My WiFi range stinks with the Linksys Firmware, and I do notice slow page loads even when my BT Bandwidth is fairly low.

Thanks for reminding me :thup:

:cool:

I just bought one of the Linksys WRT54GL routers a week ago from Newegg, specifically to upgrade to the DD-WRT firmware to expand my range. I hadnt even updated the firmware yet and the thing died in less than 24 hours. I came into my computer room and all the lights on it were dead. Cant get it to come on now at all.

RMA time. :confused: :bang head :(
