I have done everything i can think of to try and configure this router to let http traffic go first. My roommate does online college and she needs to be able to connect right away. But whenever i am seeding/downloading my torrents with azureus on my mac web browsing bogs down real bad. Sometimes it can take 30 seconds for a site to come up on her widows machine. She is running windows xp sp2 I have not upgraded her to sp3 yet. I have mac os x leopard. when she is direct connected to the cable modem her machine is lightning fast So i know it is the router or the bittorrent. The web browsing is fast on my mac when torrents are running but still not as fast as without the router or when bittorrent is not running.
EDIT: Some other useful info. she is connected via ethernet and is using a 10/100 card so she is getting 100 megabits per second connection to the router. I am connected via ethernet and i have a gigabit connection.

Thanks in advance guys.
Admins thanks for all the help you have given me!


Here is a picture of my internet speeds with out bittorent running and of my QOS Configuration

How badly are you raping your connection with bit torrent? Maybe QoS can only do so much...

Also, and I'd like some clarification from D-Link on this, but I don't think setting things to a priority of 1 or 2 is a good idea. I heard that 128 was kind of a baseline and that 100, 101, 102, etc would be best and that 1, 2, 3 etc could cause problems. Maybe I am wrong. Any guidance Lycan?

Shouldn't you have the _remote_ ports set to 80/8080/443 etc.?  The local ports are the sockets the local PC/Mac open up (which will always be high, >1024).  The remote port should be the destination port the remote web ports (80/443/etc).

I think he nailed it.. try that ^^

[Macnerd77]

so just wanna make sure but what you saying is to set the remote ports to the same as the local ports.


thanks again

I think he is saying switch remote and local... but I could be wrong.

[camattin]

Right.  Remote port should be 80, local port should be 0...65535.

Another thing: a QoS rule becomes active only, if the checkbox in front of it is checked, doesn't it?
