What am I doing wrong with my router setup?
    #8120631 - 03/08/08 05:52 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

So I finally decided to tackle this thing again and it went much better the second time around. It had been working ok but I couldn't use encryption. Reinstalling the firmware fixed that problem though. Next I decided to try and setup static ip's again so I could properly forward ports and not rely on the DMZ for Xbox Live or suffer anymore slow torrent downloads.

I got that all figured out and have never seen faster downloads - it was really amazing how much faster they were. Trying to view other websites would take forever or not even happen, but I figured that was just the torrents taking up too much bandwidth. Here's when I tried to experiment with the QoS but I couldn't even get back into my router settings. It would lag out just like the webpages. I thought that seemed weird since I wasn't going out of my LAN, but still thought it was something to do with too much bandwidth being used by uTorrent. I throttled back and back to no avail. I paused all torrents and still my connection to my control panel for the router wouldn't come up properly (sometimes it would come up with a very plain white background and a few of the buttons). Normal websites were doing the same thing. It would take forever to load but far more often, nothing or just a few parts of it would.

I tried power cycling the router and modem, and this seemed to work for 30-45 seconds after power was restored, but then it was back to the slowness. A reboot and power cycle didn't work either. Finally I completely exited uTorrent, and voila, it worked perfectly. Restart and the problems were back. I repeated my experiment multiple times and it definitely has something to do with uTorrent, but I don't know what.

I have a Buffalo WHR-G54S running DD-WRT v23 SP2 by the way.

Never mind, I found it.  :rolleyes:  I searched before but didn't find anything but I tried again and found it. 

If you're using P2P, you have a lot more connections so you have to increase the number of ports to 4096 and reduce the TCP/UDP timeout down to around 60-120 seconds.  Did that and now it works like a charm.  With the QoS setup now, I can have torrents downloading and still browse the web fine.

If anyone is considering attempting this but doesn't know anything about networking, it really isn't hard.  I knew nothing about it and figured it out pretty easily just reading readily available guides.  The only reason it so hard the first time around I guess is because my firmware was corrupted.
