Re: [northeast] Might be torrent throttling, might not be? Help!

It's not Verizon, it's the router, the NAT table floods easily when using torrent clients and certain online games. Search this forum on:

NAT table
bit torrent
steam

and you'll a gazillion posts on this topic/issue

1) you can try Azureas -- its defaults settings seem more reasonable for this issue.

2) you can try replacing the router. There's some good FAQs on the topic: »Verizon Online FiOS FAQ and scroll down to the ones on replacing the Actiontec, looking for your setup (e.g. with FiOS TV, etc)

Re: [northeast] Might be torrent throttling, might not be? Help!

Thanks! It definitely is the router. I haven't had a problem with any games yet, but if I do, I may just test the WiFi radio distance by placing the router in the middle of the STREET!!! Let me ask ya, do ya feel lucky, router?

Ok Ok, I won't do that, but I will try Azures to see if that works better. I have limited the number of connections to 80 or 90 and it doesn't happen as often. It's almost a hit and miss thing.

If I really get fed up, I will consider bridging the thing and using the good old WRT54G that I used to use. Thanks again!
