krt16 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 When I start up my utorrent and let it run a while my Internett just crashes and I have to reboot my router...Why is this so? And I have also noticed that there is a yellow warning sign on the bottom of the window saying that I have to open a port to get fully connected... But it shows even if I open the port...I'm running:Vista Home PremiumAnd the router I'm using is a Belkin G+ (wireless) router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brutus-bum Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I had a Belkin router and it's not just good enough for bittorrent. If you limit the number of connections to somewhere around 100-150 it will work for a while, but eventually it will lock up. The sad truth is that this Belkin router is made for Mr. Joe Newtotheinternet and any strenuous usage will crash it.I had similar experiences with a Linksys Wrt54g router, but not as bad as the Belkin, eventually I got me a Zyxel x550 router and with this one I can use up to 10000 connections without crashing the router.A lot of these cheap routers are just not capable of dealing with a seriously heavy protocol like bittorrent. Some have software problems and crash, others like the Belkin get so hot the hardware locks up.I was able to run my Belkin for a while after I installed a fan and drilled holes in the case for ventilation. Eventually got fed up as it was still unreliable and I had to stop torrents clients just so I could surf at the same time.Not what you want to hear, sorry.....

GTHK Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 WRT54G's will work a little better when upgraded, and a lot better when given DD-WRT, if you have the right model. I've heard disabling the SPI firewall will fix router crashing, I plan on load testing my Linksys at some point with that option as the variable.
