Q: I am looking for a router that can withstand heavy use bittorrent. I had a WRT54G as a cheap off-brand wireless router, but both could, in time to restart and eventually lose connection. Ive tried every tutorial Ive found my online torrent clients to identify and reduce the number of connections, but I still have this disconnection problem. I just want a router that can take what I throw at it, any recommendations for a WiFi router, thx.

Re:I'm probably going to get flamed a bit for this, but I have a cheap Motorola WR850G (I'm talking $20 cheap) and it hasn't given me one problem with bittorrent.
I was using it just for an access point and had a linksys as my main router. The Linksys kept bombing out on me so I figured I'd give the motorola a chance and it's been a champ.

Re:my wrtg54 v1.1 with the 4.3 firmware stands up to heavy p2p and downloading just fine
don't put anything on top of it so the heat can get out

Re:hmm what about using the same wireless router as an access point and getting a good none wireless router, like a SOHO router like the RV042… Do any of you know if the AP be able to handle more connections in that sort of setup.. plus all you firmware modding people can talk about modding it to be a better AP

Re:I have a wrt54g V5 (yes, v5) at home that flashed with the Micro dd-wrt firmware. I have found that it's a lot more stable, doesn't randomly hang, and has better throughput. I don't really hammer it w/ bittorrent or anything similar regularly, but the few times I have done that (3-4hrs at a time) it has performed without issue.
Take a look into flashing what you already have – it may resolve your issues.

Re:I believe the current WRT54G (V5 and up) is no longer as flashable as it once was. The WRT54GL is the one (currently avaliable at Newegg) that can still accept 3rd party firmware.

Re:I second WRT54G. Flash it with latest custom HyperWRT firmware, and it's good as it gets. I run bittorrent on it at home with 200+ connections and it seems to chug along. It's gone weeks w/o needing to reboot. Before the flash, even a 100 connection would freeze it up, due to the crappy older firmware where it held onto IP addresses too long and flooded itself with old addresses.

[/quote]Yap, just like Entry Level Routers are not desgined to withstand any thing you throw at them.
WRT54G is as good as it gets.

Re:There is one and I highly recommend it from my own problems with routers and heavy P2P (torrent) traffic. Most routers I've used, wired or wireless, simply shutdown and require restarts after a moderate ammount of connections start going through it.
Check out the DLink DGL-4300. It is pricey but worth every penny. I've had it since winter and haven't needed to restart it once with pretty much non-stop 1MB/s torrent traffic and 500+ plus connections open going through it since I set it up. It also includes gigabit lan as a bonus.
