WRT45GS problem.. HELP!
I'm hoping that one of you gurus can give me some ideas of what to try here:
The other week, I picked up a used WRT45GS used from a friend for cheap, since I've always wanted to have one so I could hack it, and get the extra features. At the time I had a DLink DI624 which was working flawlessly, and had been for years.
After picking up the WRT45GS, I sold the DLink.
Now after playing with the WRT45GS for about 1.5 weeks, I'm not entirely happy.
What happens is that while I'm downloading stuff on bittorrent, the connection to the net on all the other computers on the LAN (3 of them) slows right down, to the point of not being usable. Surfing the net is unbarebly slow.
Azureus is set up to throttle the up and down stream (just like it was before). That never changed. My max up and down speeds from ISP haven't changed (checked them again last night)
The only thing that's changed is the router. I've even upgraded the firmware to the latest that Linksys had, and now I'm running DD-WRT v23, and still have the same problem.
The strange thing is that if I even try to access the router's config pages the same huge slowdown is evident. Network traffic on the LAN is affected.
Is the linksys router really getting bogged down so much by the torrent traffic?
What did the Dlink have that the Linksys router doesn't?
I'd like to not have to buy a DLink router, since I really like the feature set the Linksys offers.
