Title: P2P keeps crashing DIR 825
Post by: Gentlemank on March 15, 2010, 09:40:01 AM
I recently replaced my old DIR 655 as it was giving me headaches with my xbox live connection, and some pc titles as well. I've been pleased with the performance of my new DIR 825 until now, when I try to run any p2p software it crashes my internet connection pretty quickly and the router and modem must be reboot.

I've had the router about a week too long to just return it, so for what I paid I'm stuck trying to come to terms with it, any advice where I can start trouble shooting this issue? I have forwarded ports properly and nothing inside my p2p application indicates any firewall issues.

Oh yes, the router is hardware version B1 and firmware is 2.02na

I have the Rev A router and was having the same problems (P2P, vimeo uploads, and anything else that uploaded with high bandwidth).  I tried 2 other-brand routers and narrowed down my problem to an older Dlink cable modem.  I upgraded that to a DOCSIS 3.0 motorola and am running solidly.

I hear many isp's try to throttle P2P connections, traffic shape, and otherwise try to make it hard to use p2p applications as they use alot of bandwidth, so it might not be your router at all. I have the same version and my ports are forwarded and I occasionally get a internet crash. They usually go away if i reboot my isp modem.
