SOHO NETGEAR wireless router disconnects when downloading torrents
- by Lirik
I have a NETGEAR WGT624 wireless router at home which dies when there is a heavy torrent load.
I open up my torrent client and it downloads for about 5 to 10 minutes and it continues to increase the number of seeds (goes up to 70-80 seeds), but after that the router simply fails and I have to restart it in order to get an internet connection again.
When I connect directly via an ethernet cable the router and open up the torrent client, then it seems to be doing fine, but when I go wireless then the router stops working properly (although all the lights are still blinking as normal).
Is there any way that I can fix this? New router firmware? Change some router options? Feed it a cookie? Anything?
