Ascent Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hey I have looked around and cannot find this course my search abilities usually suck so if this is answered somewhere already pls link it and I will check it out.Just got a new router Linksys Wireless-G Broadband wrt54g2 now got one desktop comp hardwired and two laptops that are on this router wireless. Once acer and a sony. when I start Utorrent on my desktop and am downloading something after it starts up my sony laptop looses its wireless connection hehe. Not sure why Utorrent is causeing this but it only happens when I start Utorrent up. So to regain wireless connection I have to stop Utorrent and disconnect and reconnect from the wireless router and I get interenet access again. Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? could it be a router setting or is my Utorrent settings maybe causing this? Played around a bit but can't figure out why it is doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Router overloads, probably due to poor design with too little ram and buggy networking.(There is 3rd party replacement software for routers...tomato and DD-WRT that can 'fix' some of that!)1st and 2nd links in my signature are almost a must!

Ascent Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I don't know much about computers so not sure about installing 3rd party software. Any way I can decrease this overload on the Utorrent side? I just replaced this wireless router with an old one that was not wireless that I had no problems with this happening.Also this only happens on my sony laptop...my acer also wireless never looses connection...any reason that would be like that?

Switeck Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yes, you need to do the Slow Speed/Disconnect Guide (in 1st link) AND 2nd link in my signature.Router starts acting up (sending some bad packets?) and maybe the acer's networking is still good enough to handle that.

Firon Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 The WRT54G2 is a shit router. I've got one here and that turd slows down pretty easily on torrents. I imagine it wouldn't take much to screw it up.DD-WRT can be used on it, but eh, it doesn't seem to work all that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 DD-WRT micro has to be used because BOTH the ram and flash memory are WAY too low.Even then, it has to be limited to 1k max connections.(And that's counting dead connection.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markj81 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi, I'm not sure if my problem relates to this but sounds quite similar.I can run my desktop with uTorrent and everything is fine, I can run the wife's laptop with uTorrent and again all fine but when I try and run through my laptop it disconnects the whole internet and I have to reboot the router.I have uninstalled and re-installed uTorrent, messed around with the router settings as much as I know how to... I'm running with Sky LLU Broadband.Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
