The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => Routers / COVR => DIR-655 => Topic started by: tturbonetix on December 23, 2009, 04:34:25 PM

Hi everyone! Got recently a DIR-655 A5 on a VISTA 64bit machine and very strange behavior started to happen...
Configured evthing for port fwrding , torrent ok, ports ok, NAT on, PNP on, and the dl speed doesn't go over 1MB/s and after a while the router hangs/crashes both LAN & Wireless. The only thing that still works is the log on to the router wirelessly. The ! symbol appears on the network sign in the taskbar.
If i don't start the Utorrent, the router acts perfectly.
Does anyone find this familiar or has any solution?
Tks in advance!
-
reduce the number of incoming and outbound connections in your torrent client
-
there are only 10, that was the first thing i did...
-
There is always more to configure. Which BT client do you use?
-
Make sure the åport forwarding is set to "Port and address restricted" and not "Endpoint independent" as the latter allows more simultaneous connections than this Platinum product can handle.
I had a similar problem, but in my case the router would go into "Brick mode" after 9 hours or so.. It got a bit better after I set the mode to port and address restricted but it didn't solve my problem. See my popular "Uh oh" -thread for details.
-
My client is utorrent cofigured properly with low number of connections, nat & pnp enabled, the router also with those enabled, port fwrding. Disabled Qos and other packet related options...
I tried also to disable the router firewall. The same.
BTW, i use kasperski internet security (firewalll, antivirus, anti-malware). Is it possible to cause this behavior?
-
So is port forwarding set to "Port and address restricted" or "Endpoint independent"?
-
i tried both... initially set to endpoint independent, and finally restricted and it acted the same.
-
Mine has been running acceptably since I changed it back to port and address restricted. I left mine off for about 8 hours to make sure all previous connections were killed though. You could try that.
-
BTW, i use kasperski internet security (firewalll, antivirus, anti-malware). Is it possible to cause this behavior?
Yep, I think this is your problem.
I run µtorrent but I do not have NAT on in options as µtorrent uses UPnP.
I have:
UPnP enabled
NAT-PMP port mapping disabled
Try turning off KIS and see what happens.
BTW- I run KAV and have no issues with torrents or µtorrent.
-
Same... And i guess KIS has no implication in this issue, because if i am connected to the internet without router-directly from the pc it works fine.
looks like i'm bad luck deeply...
-
Your IP is different when on a router so KIS could still be the problem.
Have you posted in Kaspersky forum just to make sure?
Also, try shutting down KIS just to see if µTorrent works then.
-
I know, and i tried also with KIS off through router. Same. Utorrent works, but crashes after a while. I will try and search something about KIS and torrent clients to see if something's coming up.
Tks anyway;)
-
Take a look at this: http://www.kaspersky.com/support/kis2010/error?page=1&qid=208280071
Also, make sure you have added µTorrent to exclusions.
settings>Threats and exclusions>trusted zone>Trusted applications and make sure to have do not scan opened files checked
-
Done that, same issue...
I've tried also with KIS uninstalled and no change whatsoever.
I am now updating the FW to 1.30EU as a last resort and i'll post after.
Tks;)
L.E. Same thing after the FW update, also...
-
I am having the same problem with 1.32NA (US) firmware. The torrent starts, runs for a while and the router either reboots or my wireless disconnects. I am on Linux using Transmission BT client. I have also tried with Deluge and Opera. Same problem. Looks like this router can't take a normal BT load. Yes, it's a lot of connections, but a router should be able to take it.
-
I looked into it some more. This router apparently has a questionable 16MB of ram.
As per advice in another thread I configured my BT client like this:
Max global connections: 450
Max connections per torrent: 100
Max upload slots per torrent: 6
It is up and running for 11 hours now but those settings are kind of weak, and 11 hours is too short a time to judge if it really works. I'm on the 1.30EU firmware by the way.
-
:D ;D I finally made it work!!! Tried to see if the problem persists on other LAN ports of the router, ,pluged the pc on LAN port 4 and surprise! The torrent is working upload and download just fine. The max down speed i got is 11MB/s smoothly, the max supported by the provider.
Thanks all for your support and good luck!
