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! |

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) |
