hi everyone, i bought a new router modem -> ZyXel P-660HW-T1 v2 (White color). I got a problem, whenever I on DL (torrents) i cant surf net, any browser also hang, kept time out. I did some research online saying that change mode to Bridge then encapsulation Ppoe. Then I just follow and change mode to bridge but after change to bridge I don't see Ppoe but PpoA. Your Help!
I don have any problem using previous router. After change to this. Everytime open torrent sure very XX7&^%@&*# hard time surf net. So pissing me :banghead:

P/S: my port is opened

What is your upload capped at? It sounds like you're downloading/uploading too fast for your connection to do anything else.

Sounds like the speeds aren't the issue, but the number of open connections is overloading the router...

Torrents can be hard on routers i've noticed in the past. I've crashed a Linksys WRT54g running torrents, playing wow and my bro playing wow.

Check for a new firmware for your router. I had this problem with a Netgear router the other day. The problem also happened while transfering files over the local network. A new firmware was supposed to fix the issue, unfortunately it didn't. Router went back and they got a Cisco/Linksys. Problem gone.

Firewalls.. bleh.. could be.
1300 up and 300 down.
thats 13 meg and 3 meg.
Those numbers sound odd to me.
I have 18 down and 2 up.

Whos the provider?
and if you just got it, save the receipt.
Return it if it keeps giving you problems.
No need for you to deal with that crap.

turn down the amount of connections. i use 15-20 connections and max my 8Mb line out, some weird people use 100+ and choke their routers.


You bought a cheap router (zyxel isnt high end), so it just cant take large amounts of connections.
