Hi,
I couldn't see an obvious forum rules page re torrents so presume this post is allowed - if not then accepth my apologies and remove
I have recently got VM 50Mb boradband and after trying to use through my Linkysys WRT54GS (V1 with DD-WRT) quickly found out that it isn't able to cope with the 50Mb throughput and hits a threshold around 20-25Mb - on the wired connections. I tried the one you get free, D-Link DIR615 which does allow the full 50Mb but on torrents it's nothing short of horrendous, maxing out at around 500k. Read up on that router and it's due to the number of connections it limited to - I wonder if that was intentional on VMs part - DD-WRT is WIP for that router and has been for a long time, I don't know if that would be able to remove the cap on the number of connections anyway.
I've tried looking round the forums for a replacement router, my Linksys has done me proud so far, but all I can see is recomendations for the WRT54** on DD-WRT. I'm not fussed about the Wireless N so with that in mind can anyone recommend a router that can handle the full bandwidth and give good results with torrents?
Thanks in advance for the replies
