Router works fine... for me.
« on: September 29, 2008, 07:49:31 PM »
I'm having this weird issue where whenever I run torrents, my sisters computer gets disconnected.  Mine keeps working fine, but she gets that wonderful little icon that says "Limited or No Coonectivity) that we all know and love so very much.

Anyways, here's the info on what I've tried and what I've got.  It's a D-Link 625 Rev. A1 with 1.09 firmware.  I am hardwired to the router, she is on wireless.  We're using WPA/WPA2 encryption and I've tried with QoS on and off, and UPnP on and off.  This wasn't happening before I switched to this router but I switched to this one because it's technically better.  My torrents are port-forwarded, if that changes anything in any which way.  Oh, I've tried resetting to factory default and reflashing the firmware.  I'm not sure what other info would help, but if anybody has any ideas as to what I could try please throw em at me, cuz I'm at a loss.

Thank you,
Kevin

Take a look at the Wish settings. Give her priority of VO (voice) then QoS the bittorrent.

I might be mistaken, but aren't Wish settings part of the dir-655? I have a DIR-625, unfortunately.

I would look at any / all software firewall settings.  I also had this happen to me and my firewall software (Norton 360) must be told to trust the wireless network SSID before connecting successfully to it.  Trusting the router's LAN side IP address was not enough.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I thought I had already.  I appreciate your help, but I reformatted and upgraded to Vista on this (the hard-wired one) computer and that seems to have fixed the problem for the most part.  So I'm not sure entirely what the issue was, but it was seemingly something software related on this computer.

Thanks again!
