Read the thread, just went through that issue with Demondriver...

Good, so what was the solution for this?
Have no speed problems here. Down about 95000kb/s Up about 2600kb/s.
It just that this router starts to "choke" whenever it feels like (with light or heavy traffic). I have see sometimes blocked port 80 when i just google and every bit just stops. When i play network poker etc and lose my connection, i can not connect to the router either. After few seconds it works ok again or not.
Have no settings in my cable modem so can not do anything there.
Traffic or no traffic, same problems. Random "chokes" here. Sometimes it works just ok for day or two and start this "blocking everything" with no sensible reason. No long-time slowdowns but fast choke/stuck here.

Can you give some summary of your solution here?
Thx.

Just do the reading I would say. Perhaps there is somebody else who wants to provide this 'premium service' to you. Sorry.

[Demondriver]

uplink rate is relatively resolved now it seems.  200k-384k uplink rate, i can live with 200k+ uplink.   2 days of near flawless operation and heavy usage etc.

Problem now is back to terribly downlink rates regardless of rebooting device, computer, main internet device etc.  Just kinda went ca-plop on the downlink.

My first assumption is that the down problem was still related to to many connections not releasing and hogging up the router etc.  like before.  Where i get thrown off though is since i've rebooted the router, computer, restored factory defaults to router, hard reset it, power cycled it etc. and still cant seem to get decent down speeds.

for 2 days of heavy usage it maintained 1.5mbps down 384k up.  Now typical is 400-500k down 200k+ up (up is satisfactory cant have a perfect world im finding out)  best downlink rate i've achieved is 800k which is only 50% bandwidth.

UPnP or multicast stream settings mean anything?  MTU set at 1500 in router and windows. (never ever messed with it and my nets always been fine prior)

Very redundant and pretty much the only errors i am getting.

[EddieZ]

Do you recognize any of the IP addresses mentioned in the log? I noticed that 64.184.37.18 must be yours.

If the ISP internet device has no firewall, you get all the inbound connection attempts on your DIR. That means that you're being portscanned quite a bit...and causing all these entries.

If you connect through wireless (in the Hillbilly country  ) there might be some situation with security on this wireless network. Theoretically these can mean that you suffer from the fact that someone else's computer (accessing the same wireless network) has been hacked or zombied...But I don't know how your provider works so I cannot be sure. That would explain the sudden occurence.

[Demondriver]

something that i had figured, the isp having issues on there side and then it filtering out amongst the mass's who utilize the service. 

Would this thing called mac filtering or anything else i can turn on/adjust help alleviate the issue or am i just doomed to the less consistent performance since i'm bent on utilizing a router nowadays (gotta love the versatility of a router for adding extra media devices 8P)?

You should get the router out of the loop for  a while and see if performance stays the same (since it now is OK there is no real need, is there?). If performance also degrades when no router is present you know it is an ISP thing. MAC filtering doesn't work from the WAN side, but could bring this issue to their attention. Unless the router is kaput, there isn't anything beside the internetmodem or ISP I can think of that can cause this.

Try this:

Go to advanced/QoS engine, turn off the automatic detection of upload speed and enter your uplink speed manually. Reboot the router and your machines.

Does this help?

Also, go visit the Azureus (vuse) web wike and find out about setting up your download and upload torrents, speeds etc.

[Demondriver]

i've already setup azureus with the proper settings etc.

The reason i bought the router is to utilize it's capabilities.  without it i cannot hook up the rest of my devices. ps3,zune,laptop,2 other pc's and share my internet with them, hence the reason i bought a router.

The router seems to "choke" so to speak.  As your shoving a giant carrot down your throat,  utilizing multiple bandwidth tests etc. instead of a consistent smooth flow to maximum bandwidth it hops skips and jumps then just goes blah and doesnt increase/decrease or anything for a second or two.  "choking effect" as i call it.

I dont mean to sound like a noob or anything but the inconsistency of the router is disturbing.  Without the router in the loop (meaning nothing can be connected to the net beside's MY pc thus making the purchase a waste) my bandwidth is tip top notch, has been for 2yrs straight and going.  Only problem i've had with my service is a ice storm 8P the issue lies within the router and im just trying to figure out if it's a setting's issue with the router since it has problem's regardless of what i do or if the router itself is bunk..  a "choking effect" to me sounds like it is clogged or just not operating properly at all.

After all the help in the forum i had 2 days of flawless operation.  Ran 24/7 doing everything i would typically do and experianced no issue's/connection drops or anything.  After that period of time it has reverted back to it's choking out problem and now experiances a greater amount of connection drops.  Idea's? (yes have powercycled, rebooted router, hard reset it, restored config file etc. nothing changed.)

Just do the reading I would say. Perhaps there is somebody else who wants to provide this 'premium service' to you. Sorry.

More i read, more it seems that nothing has solved but i continue to read.
Now im log full with PPTP ALG rejected packet, but i think the answer is here too... 

[EddieZ]

Lots of the same issue might have a different solution. Unfortunately not everybody provides specific feedback which worked...

[tentimes]

Did you try what I said in the uplink speed, under advanced/QoS? I had exactly same problems as you and this fixed it. It was detecting the wrong uplink and throttling it, this in turn screwed the download speeds for torrents.

Please let us know if you tried what I said. No offence meant, but you sound really frustrated and latched onto the torrent thing without seeming to notice my comment on the uplink. The detection will change over time and could explain the variability of the strangling effect you are getting. Set it manually and rebot everything, then test.

Also, you may feel you know all there is to know about torrents, but reading a bit more might help - it helped me. I've gone from having your experience to having a totally consistent connection that I can download near full speed on with torrents. This is a good router, but not a router for the feint hearted as it certainly does require some coaxing to work well. When it does work well though it's in a class of it's own for the price IMHO.

Well, for what its worth, I've had the same "choking" issues that one of the previous posters haev mentioned.

Both on wireless and LAN, both on Vista and Mac.

I always thought it as Comcast's problem, as they have had some reported problems here int he Bay Area.

Today, I switched back to 1.11 and so far, no more "choking" issues.

Sorry if its not technical enough a description, but the chocking problems I had were pages not loading, or stalling before loading. In many instances, I could not even log onto to the router.

No torrents/P2P running here when this chokes. Little traffic smaller problem, more traffic more problems.
Network poker is what gives me allmost every time weird disconnections...

Same problems here with no rational reason.

[tentimes]

Yet neither of you have tried my suggestion - just go try it - what will it cost you? I mean, basically you are coming here and complaining yet not taking any advice on offer or reading the suggestions made.
