Title: Need you Input Please. DIR-655 or DGL-4500
Post by: Macnerd77 on March 03, 2008, 12:20:58 PM

I am trying to get the best Performance for Bit torrent. I have a used a DIR-655 here at the house for a week and it seems to work much better that my old linksys wrt54gs.
But i am wondering if the DGL-4500 would be even better for me.
I am running cat 5e to my router. I only use the wireless for my iphone.
I have 2 computers connected 1 iMac and 1 PC. The iMac is gigabit and the pc is only 10/100
My internet connection is 30 mega bits per second down and 1.8 mega bits per second up.
I do have a playstation 3 that i sometimes play online games with. But only about 1 time a week.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

For Bittorrent the preformance between the two, the 4500 is going to allow more concurrent active sessions. So that would be the superior choice. However, if the BT client you are using is configured properly with QoS managed correctly, you shouldn't really see that much of an improvement.
