utorrent crashing wlan on WIN7 x64 with Airport Extreme

Recommended Posts

ethernet 30 Mb/s up/down, extended by Airport Extreme for Wlan

client runs WIN 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Intel 5300 AGN adapter

Everytime using utorrent, 1.85 and up, the wlan would stall at any given time. Closing utorrent, reconnecting wlan would get the wlan back to work. Utorrent is the only application causing this, no other (file sharing) application would do.

Have been trying lots of of different setup on the Intel Wlan adapter, on utorrent and on the Airport box but none with success.

I reckon there is some malicious issue between utorrent and the Airport box, perhaps worth for the developer to have a look into the matter and iron it out.

hmm, about the setting, just been trying every recommendation from failsafe to adventurous and in various scenarios, but none solved the matter.

of course, could still try another router or perhaps it is a matter of the Intel 5300 WLAN adapter, however no other application except utorrent is causing the distress

Switek gave me an idea. thanks mate! Switched off the 802.11n-mode on the Intel WLAN adapter and voilà everything is just peachy, no more chocked wlan.

Though I am not an expert on 802.11 specs I find it rather Strange though.

Wireless-g often has far less than 20 mbit/sec usable under ordinary conditions.

Wireless-n may also be if at range or there's considerable interference.

Also, on some wireless cards/routers, WEP can consume up to 80% of available bandwidth. It sucks.

I guess they're a little lacking on stable draft-n wireless support. :(
