so i have a dir-655 a3, i noticed i lost internet connection while my brother was downloading a patch for a mmorpg which of course had no settings being that it is just an exe file to download a patch, but i suspected it was a torrent (when i looked at internet sessions it had like 2,400 which according to smallnetworkbuilder the dir-655 a4 1.21 can handle 22,000), now the issue was having high packet loss over wireless about 8 pings in a row came back nothing, i previouslly thought i had been dropping packets because there is possiblly wireless interference, to make sure i wasn't getting wireless interference i had allready hooked up and running an old router as an access point i swapped over to that and i was back online, but i noticed i was pinging about 60ms avg to the router normally <1ms from my wireless or my wired computer, well then i pinged my brothers computer it was <1ms. so i tried changing some things i turned off spi and anti spoof checking and wireless i left on qos because that is the reason i bought this router so i can actually surf while other people are downloading, nothing changed it except when rebooting the router but as soon as his patch picked up speed it was slowing down my router. so to me it looks like the traffic generated by this patch was stressing out the router which made the wireless fail.
also not that it should matter but my wireless card is the D-Link DWA-552 XtremeN Desktop
