pieman48 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 as title says.im fairly novicy , but a logical thinker so no big compy speak words please.i was happily downloading a couple of DVDs via utorrent when my son asked the guy next door to install our router (which i have tried and failed to install a few times).took him 5 minutes BUT...my downloads went from ETA 2 hrs to 6 weeks.looking into it a spotted a little red icon which i clicked and read a load of jargon about port forwarding...which i cant find a freebie for and im reluctant to part with £30.my router is a Edimax BR-6204Wg (which i cant find listed on help sites.i have only just stumpled across this forum and hope someone can give me some advice about how i may configure things to get back to downloading things.at the moment i have switched the ethernet cable back to bypass the router, but i need to find a way to carry on using Utorrent (which i trust) , but at the same time put back the router for my kids laptops.thanks..barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
