myrn Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 My friend has got a Netgear WGR614v3 which hangs under heavy load by µTorrent and other P2P programs. I also got bad experience of D-Link routers.What routers are actually working under heavy load? Some people say that LS WRT54* routers are good, some say that they're not.What can we do to make the WGR614v3 to run better with µTorrent?

richtertheo Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I`m in love with my Draytek 2900G, even a smaller model will surprise you. My old SMC 7004 worked perfect up to 500 connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 WRT54GL/GS (the Linux ones, the latest GS is VxWorks, same for the latest G) with a firmware replacement. I've had no problems going at >1000 connections on it. It can handle a few thousand, the only real limitation is your connection speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I've heard D-Link routers can do ok into the low 100's of connections if you disable DHT and UPnP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Most can't anyway, unfortunately. Some do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikespiegel Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 i'd have to say none of the home based routers, if you want one that can do a ton of connections, get a cisco router but be warned you will have to pay a lot of money for one, $1000 for a "cheap" one and i'm just guessing at the priceother than that build a linux or freebsd nat box, can be done fairly cheaply in this day and age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MageMinds Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I have a DLink DI-604 wich never gave up, I even got into the 400 concurent connections with a combined throughput of 800 KB/s inbound and 80 KB/s outbound ... I had a linksys before that and I had it replaced twice before I discover that the router had weak cpu inside, wich makes it crash under the pressure. Not I'm pleased for more than a year now with my DLink, I never have to reboot it.MageMinds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 You're one of the lucky few then, most people can't get their D-Links to stay stable for even 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
