Wireless Router and Data

Vipersfate · 11-24-09, 11:59 PM

I've been having an issue recently with my wireless router. Anytime I have more than 2 torrents running, the wireless goes crazy. It basically shuts of and restarts like I pulled the plug.

It's been driving me nuts. I currently use an Encore ENHWI-G2 Rev. A2.

I've never had a problem before with this, and I can't seem to figure out the problem. Only other time this happened is when I was hosting a Garry's Mod server and someone blew up the entire map, caused my Cable Modem to restart.

Anyone have an idea on what the crap this router is doing?

it's just the number of simultaneous connections you have going on the torrents.

Your wireless router can only handle X amount of simo connections and you are exceeding that amount.

Think maybe because it's a cheap router, it just sucks for it?

yup. you get what you pay for. Different routers can handle differing numbers of simultaneous connections.

For example, the combo modem/router that my dsl service provides lets me have about 1,500 simultaneous connections. I've played with routers (at work in the past and now at my new job) that have limits in the upper 10's of thousands.

You are most likely hitting a State Table limitation.

The simple solution is to throttle back our bit-torrent usage during times when you will be using your internet connection.
