Router disconecting from Net

[drpiety]

Not sure if its utorrent as I switched to outpost 3.0 Firewall also. Router disconnects the net every 6-8 hours. If noone has this problem with utorrent i could sort it out.

i kinda have this problem but not in the same sense

if my isp detects im using over 40k for over 4h it kills me, but if i use 38k for 20h it doesnt care

maybe yours is the same, try using the scheduler to limit the connection nad see what happens

[drpiety]

Thanks for helping, how do you know if its the ISP that shuts down ? My ISP has not the reputation of doing so. I only have this since I use outpost and utorrent. Speeds were allways the same.

[Keloran]

i know its the isp becasue my router logs show the disconnection of wan from exteranl source

[drpiety]

ok will check that. If others have that problem please tell.

[drpiety]

I checked the log after disconnect and its not the ISP

05:43:59 Web login successfully from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (localhost)

so its my PC trying to reconnect and it cant , no error message before. Looks like an overload. I allready tested mx connections even 30 and it still does. Its not outpost , router diconnects even if outpost unloaded. So theres utorrent to still suspect to kill the router.

It is your ISP. Most ISPs do that. Myne, My friends. They all do. I hate ISPs. They are the Devil. Anyway, yea I have Comcast and whenever I try to get a good download working and it takes more than a few hours comcasts likes to disconnect me so that I wont waste it's bandwidth. Those Assholes.

if that crap system comes to sweden im going on a strike!!.. jesus.. what happened to the world??

:evil:

[drpiety]

bought a d-link 604 will report back if i have a disconnect. If not, this issue is solved

[drpiety]

you guys having a linksys might try and spend the 30 bucks on the wired d-link 604. I had no disconnects since using it. Just to sort out that its the ISP disconnecting. Feels so good if its running

That is not correct. "most" ISP's don't do that... I have SBC, which is a pretty large ISP, and they don't do it. DSL providers generally are very permissive. Perhaps you should say "Most CABLE ISP's do that"...

My ADSL provider does do that (granted it's a small ISP), but only once every 24 hours. It reconnects so quickly though that almost no program notices it, except xchat and my logs.

try contacting your ISP regarding MTU:.

I noticed the setting in my liksys web interface...and it's currently disabled. But yea, I've seen this too, using OTHER torrent clients, and I think it may just be too much bandwidth usage goes on, my router cant handle it, so it fubars :<

[1c3d0g]

The MTU is standard AFAICT (1492 IIRC), just like the other ISP's. But it doesn't affect me in the least bit...only when I'm connected to a server in IRC do I get disconnected. So no biggie...

Edit: perhaps you meant to ask that question to drpiety... :oops:

[drpiety]

im OK now, D-link 604 is doing its job. Linksys made me alot of troubles I allways suspected outpost or ISP.

[Nobody]

Some netgear routers also have trouble so it isn't just linksys. I'm not sure what exactly is causing the problems but with my netgear or your linksys, I have similar issues when using uTorrent. I also use outpost however so there might be a common theme there as well. If you looked back a few pages in history, there have been other reports of router "deaths" where you have to reset the router to get everything back on track only to have it die again later. I imagine some other routers may be affected as well that are not linksys or netgear.

As a summary, changing the settings for uTorrent doesn't do the trick and other clients work perfectly without have the router "die" on you. It doesn't seem to affect everyone either or I imagine there would be more complaints than what has been seen. Perhaps it's a combination of things...

my router: netgear rp614v2

Linksys routers are set to a maximum of 1024 connections with the default firmware. For those of us using alternative firmware, it can be set as high as 8192

It's set to 4096 in my case. Keep the 1024 limit in mind when setting max global connections if you're using default firmware. I'd say 1000 would be a reasonable maximum.

[drpiety]

with my linksys i could set whatever i wanted even 30 max global conns. With the D-link i had not even one disconnect since i installed it. So for me it is definitively a router problem.
