svan Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 My router(belkin 7230 version 2000) and modem(zyxel 623R-T1) don't work well with BT.When I have the modem bridged to the router, the connection gets dropped few times an hour. Currently, I turned on access point mode on the router and allowing the modem do dhcp... but I feel that it can barely handle that (dl capped at 50 and upload 10) - web pages take a long time to load. I'm currently on 1mb/128 but will be on 2mb/256 next month.So, what routers/modems would you guys recomment which are BT friendly?My uTorrent settings:upload: 10download: 50Global max no of connections: 128Connections per torrent: 77Number of uploads per torrent: 4Active torrents: 2Active downloads: 1DHT enablednet.max_halfopen: 30 (patched to 50).

ScubaSteve Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 i have a Safecom SAMR-4114 that i picked up cheap off a website. it was originally a pile of crap, the firmware was unstable and had alot of flaws in it. i got hold of a different companies firmware (JMK) from the ADSL Tech Forums and flashed my router and its been working like a dream ever since, not had a problem with it in over a yr now. i also have my xp tcpip.sys patched.

splintax Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I'm in a similar situation to ScubaSteve. I'm using a DSL-604+ which was also crap when I got it, it only ran for about 24 hours before it would lock up and I would have to do a hard reset (unplug it and plug it back in from the mains). Also it would lock up if I tried to send files with MSN Messenger..Flashing the firmware fixed all these problems. Maybe you should try flashing the firmware and getting help from the router's manufacturers / any support forums instead? There are quite good support forums at Expansys for particular router models, at least the forum for my model was very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
