1.32 BETA03
« on: July 08, 2009, 07:34:57 AM »
It seems when I am torrenting I cannot access the router page after awhile and cannot browse the net on my computer or others. I have limited the global connections on the torrent program to 100 but that doesn't seem to fix anything. Any ideas as to why I can't access the router page and always have to hard reset the device?

Have you also limited the bandwidth? There's twon things to limit: number of connections AND the upload/download bandwidth. If your upload bandwidth (which is a lot smaller then your download bandwidth is fully used the download bandwidth will also fall apart (TCP IP is two way communication)

Is the modem perhaps causing this?

It started acting like this before also, I tried different firmwares hoping the issues would go away but it still remains. I never had these problems with my linksys, my connection was always stable and the router did not restart itself.


How many connections can the router hold before it starts to slow down? For a premium router you would expect a lot.

A router in this class will handle about 400+ full open connections, perhaps even a 1000. That might not seem a lot, but Windows for example is limited (tcpip.sys) to 10 (without a patch).

But locking up a router can be easily done by a combination large amount of requests and high bandwidth demand. Then the hardware limitations (CPU) kick in. And they did not put in a very low performing CPU/chipset. It's the normal 'power' you will find in all routers in this class.

Even like opening internet explorer a lot and browsing different sites seems to cause the router to stop responding sometimes. On a side note everytime I upgrade the firmware I always have to re-do my settings manually because the load config "NEVER" has worked. I tried clearing the NVRAM but that doesn't work either.

I think something like 150 is closer to truth here...

The official number is about 150, but there have been some non-official tests that came up with the higher number:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/848374
http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/r18636963-Tomshardware-updates-DIR655-Benchmark-Results

Official test: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/component/option,com_chart/Itemid,189/chart,124
(test program was limited on 200 connections because of the license)

Statetable will manage 150 connections.
Trust me. ;)
4500 has a MUCH bigger statetable, hence so many people are having problems with UPnP, with tables over 250, the router has a heck of a time keeping up with open/close behavior.

How about keeping up only one HDD or printer...  ;D

Port forwards still die after about a day and a half, requiring a router reboot... EXTREMELY irritating, and the #1 reason why the 1.3X firmwares are pure, unadulterated FAIL.
