AT&T 2Wire Disconnect Problems

[JoshTheGoat]

Hey Everyone,

I've been having this problem for a few months, and AT&T says the problem isn't on their end. I'm hoping someone can help me out.

My router will drop the connection whenever uTorrent is running, and it happens about once a minute. The router will lose all signal, take 10 seconds to reconnect, and then start downloading again. When it's connected, there's no speed problems, but it usually disconnects quickly.

I've read through all of the faqs/sticky threads regarding fixes, and nothing seems to work. Here's the information that the different pages requested.

Lower bt.connect_speed to only 1. (1 outgoing peer/seed connection attempt per second)

Reduce per-torrent and global connection max to 50 or less.

Disable Local Peer Discovery.

Does this happen on only 1 computer?

I changed the settings you suggested, but unfortunately the connection still drops just as regularly.

I only use one computer with uTorrent, so I'm not sure if the problem is with that computer or with the router. I'll try downloading with a different computer to see if the connections issues continue.

If you can eliminate your computer as the cause, the router may be broken.
