Good wireless router for use with torrents

[JustAHuman]

Hi!

I have had two wireless routers now, both linksys, and both of them had terrible problems with too many connections (they both crashed after a few hours and only pulling the plug helped ). You also have a very extensive list of bad routers for torrents on your website, but unfortunately no list of good torrents. So i would like to know if anyone knows a good wireless router for use with torrents?

I have been thinking about getting ASUS WL-500g premium - it even has an built in bittorrent client. Is it any good?

Thanks, Ivan.

The Linksys WRT54GL with Thibor firmware is one of the top performers out there.

I use a Dlinks DIR 425 and have no problems. firmware also includes port forwarding. Biggest problem with routers crashing, that I see is firmware on the router is not updated to get rid of bugs.

Thanks a lot DreadWingKnight!

I have been using WRT54GL with Thibor firmware for two weeks now and I didn't have any problems whatsoever yet!

(I had some problems with streaming video from one computer to another with original firware (probably due to unstable wireless connection), but after updating to Thibor connection has become rock solid and much more powerful (for example: I am getting 36mbps, where I was getting 24mbps with original firmware)).

It is indeed a great router! My journey for a good router has finally ended (after 6 month and 4 routers ... ).

Thanks!

I've wondered about this. I got a WRT54GSv5. Is the firmware (I've got the current firmware) better than Thibor? I've heard only v4 and below had problems, but would Thibor be an improvement even on v5?

The WRT54GSv5 is not compatible with Thibor. A comparison cannot be made.
