WRT54GS problem with bittorrent

I have a WRT54GS, flashed to firmware v 1.52.8. It was working fine until a recent move. I put in place after that I moved into my new place and got connected services (Comcast) and that's when I noticed the problem. I have a PC connected via CAT5 via the router and use the point wireless for my laptop. In the past, my average download speed on torrents with seeds decent were about 1.5-3 MB/s (Yes, it's MBps Mbps not...) I know the difference) recently however, they head to anywhere from 150 to 250 Kbps Kbps. Uploads are not affected... they seem to be on average about the same. In addition, during the torrent download, web browsing/email/etc does not work: everything happens to expire despite the QoS settings I have in place on the router to avoid these problems.

At first, I assumed it was my ISP throttling my connection - Comcast has been called to do in the past, after all - but after testing the Glasnost reported no limitation by my ISP, I tried with the PC connected directly to a cable modem. Result: sustained speeds of download of 2.5-3 MB/s during two trials downloads (Ubuntu Installer ISO). During these downloads, I could navigate to wesites without getting timeout errors as I do when behind the router. This highlights quite peremptorily the WRT54GS as the source of my problem, so I wonder if anyone has any suggestions to solve this other than to launch the router and get a new.

EDIT: I should mention that I have only torrent on the PC, so it's not a wireless issue.

Do a reset factory and try it without changing all the settings except the foundations (e.g., wireless security, password)

  • WRT54GS - problem with changing the router IP

    Here's my problem: I want to change the IP Address of the router (and subnet) to 192.168.1.1 to (for example) 192.168.28.1 (long story).  I can do it on the base of the router configuration page.

    I have a desktop with a fixed address configuration: 192.168.28.90, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway and preferred DNS server: 192.168.28.1.  Three laptops get dhcp addresses.

    Access to Internet is fine, but local communications on the local network no longer work: shared folders are not accessible, and I can not ping to one local PC to another. (But I can ping anything on the web)

    When I'm back at 192.168.1.1 all is well again.

    Someone at - it includes what is the problem?

    Thank you.

    It is most likely a problem of computer software firewall.

    To resolve the issue, reset the router to 192.168.28.1, then power cycle your network, verify that your Internet connection works on all computers.  Then go into the computer on each computer software firewall and set it to "trust", other computers on your network.

  • Problems with wireless on WRT54GS

    After a power outage, I had to update the info on my WRT54GS router.  It works fine until I have try to configure the wireless part.  After I put a WEP key and save the settings, the "Manage settings" screen.  When I click on 'Continue', the router is basically dies.  The address bar has http://192.168.1.1/WL_WPATable.asp.  At this point, the only option I have is to power and on the router that allows to restore access to internet on the wired devices, but no wireless internet access.  Is there a table is messed up?  How to get this resolved in addition to become another router?

    Tried your suggestion, nothing is.  Finally, I changed my bridged AT & T of PPPoE to Ethernet router and set the router Linksys (Cisco) PPPoE with my AT & T username and the password.  It took care of the problem with the Wi - Fi.  I had questioned the AT & T Rep on PPPoE configuration and he assured me that AT & T has made this change and this also works with the router assign PPPoE.  Guess he was wrong.  But I am now happy.

  • Problem with my WRT54G Router.

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my WRT54G Router. From time to time, he will leave the connection but it back a few seconds later. Now, it is an annoyance, whenever I try to stream a video game or even simply online.

    The problem could be related to my modem? Or my ISP? The router itself has 2 wired computers sharing the internet connection. The connection is dropped on both computers, of course.

    Now, this situation can also hit its use torrent? I was the client download of World of Warcraft official website and it seemed to keep the speed of around 25 KB/s. That really seems low given the amount of seeders and the overall performance of my connection.

    I appreciate any help and I can also provide any additional information.

    Try to reflash/upgrade of the firmware of the router. You can download the firmware from the linksys Web site. After upgrading the firmware, reset the router, power cycle it and re - configure the router from scratch.

  • Strange problem with WRT54GS 7.2

    Hello

    I have a weird problem with my v 7.2 WRT54GS router.

    I use a unique identifier SSID and everytime I try to connect to the wireless network, I am only able to connect locally - I can't access anything other than what is on my local network.

    However, if I plug in a cable to the router and my PC, I am able to access the internet, but ONLY if I am also connected to wireless "local only".

    Earlier, on another PC, I was able to connect to the wireless network (local only), then set up a connection high steady flow as you would with an ethernet cable and connect to the internet, even if a cable is plugged into my PC.

    So, I confirmed that the router emits a signal that can be used to access the internet, but it must be done in a very complicated way.

    Anyone know anything about this? Help is appreciated.  (I already tried upgrading to the latest firmware)

    If your Modem is already configured in Bridge Mode... So you can do is: connect the Modem to the Internet Port Linksys router and then connect your computer to the router Linksys on the Port No. 1.

    Connect to the Setup page of the router and below installation "Internet Connection Type" PPPoE and enter the username and password provided in your by your ISP and below check the box 'Keep Alive' and click on save settings...

    Then click on the 'status' and check the IP address of the Internet... If you are able to see any IP address... Then check if you are online for your wired computer...

  • Problems with WRT54GS and EasyLink after the addition of the Comcast Digital phone.

    I had a working network. Cable modem (Comcast), WRT54GS, 2 PCs per (an XP/SP3, a Vista Home Edition SP1), 2 cable PC laptop wireless (an XP/SP3, a Vista Home Edition SP1) and a HP OfficeJet 7210 printer (connected to WRT54GS as a network printer). Everything was going well and worked.

    Then, I added the Comcast Digital phone. Obviously, they went for a new modem cable modem cable with the phone service option. Now I can't print to the wired Vista PC OfficeJet and EasyLink displays "initializing" for too long I'll wait (5 minutes).

    Finally, I must kill EasyLink from the Task Manager. Any help or ideas appreciated!

    I solved the problem. It turns out the new modem cable and problem with EasyLink initialization were 'diversion '.

    The problem turns out to be a classic network problem! The Vista PC wired had a wrong IP address. The wireless PC XP has the printer configured with the name of network instead of the network address (IP, for example).

    When I deleted the printer on the Vista PC and added to the correct address everything worked fine.

    Apparently, the printer got a new IP address of the server on the WRT54GS after installing the new modem. In addition, it seems that Vista doesn't has not report an error of communication to a network printer, but for a direct USB connect.

  • Problems with mail after switching to macOS Sierra

    Hey all

    After having recently upgraded to macOS Sierra, I am unable to read my mail.

    I get the following error every time I check on "Get Mail".

    There may be a problem with the mail server or the network. Check the account settings "*" or try again.

    The server returned the error: Mail could not connect to the server 'pop1.tribcsp.com' using SSL on the default ports. Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct.

    What does this error message mean and how can I solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Hi Michael,

    I see your message that you get an error in the mail indicating that there is a problem with the mail server or the network.  To help get this problem resolved, I suggest that you follow the steps below:

    If mail refers to a problem with the mail server, or the network

    Mail will say that it is impossible to connect due to a problem with the mail server or the network. For example, the message may refer to a connection that has expired, or too many simultaneous connections:

    If you are connected to the Internet, but the connection has expired, your email provider might be affected by a discontinuance of service. Contact them or see their status Web page to ensure that their e-mail service is online. Examples of status pages:

    If the message indicates the number of simultaneous connections, too many of your devices is check your e-mail account at the same time. Quit Mail on one or more of your other devices.

    If you are still unable to send or receive e-mails

    1. Make sure that you have installed latest version of the Mac software updates, especially if the problem occurred immediately after the installation of a previous update.
    2. In OS X El Capitan or later version, you can see a status icon and the short error message in the upper right of the Mail window, under the search box. The message may indicate 'Network offline' or 'Connection failed', for example. Click the message to see more details on the issue.
    3. Check your connection to the Mail connection doctor. It might be able to say more on the issue.

    If you cannot send or receive e-mail on your Mac.

    Take care.
