So my router keeps crashing or restarting itself.. however you want to call it
Happens especially when my dad or brother (aka the lowlife trash i have to deal with every single day) are downloading
so what im thinking... the router cant handle the amount of connections which is causing it to crash?
its some crappy SMC 4port router with 2 wireless switches connected to it:/ like 5/6pcs running all the time
Oh another thing.. when theyre downloading everything and everyone becomes unhittable while my ping remains the same/stable hmm packetloss? idk
im hopeloss:/ this is the 2nd router im experiencing this problem with BLEGH
What would i have to look for when im buying a new one? it should be a router with atleast 4 ports and wireless N
OH AND CC5 WAS GREAT FUN YO and got me addicted to ET again: <
*sucky spelling hurlow*
*EDIT HAI
another funny thing... when i try to connect to my FTP from work its an instantly crash/reset unless i turn passive off lol

maybe cuz of the memoires i got with this song :P
Another solution is to capp the max connection in the application itself.
Both solutions work, better yet: Go to the shop buy a linksys and load OpenWRT on it. You get a high-end router you can customize fully to your needs. You could even load ur evil brother into his own vlan capped at ISDN speed :p
it even happends sometimes when noone is downloading or when im home alone.. but AWRG when they start dwonloading its like bye internet every 30minutes for 1/2minutes.. the first 10seconds you wont be able to get in the router configuration and once youre in it says Status: DISCONNECTED and youll need to wait for it to connect whiuch takes like 45seconds
yep : ) already got a linksys wirelss N router but my brother was to stupid to buy the annex A version:/ so im using that now to stream files from my pc to laptop
Good steps to proceed are to
...get a good box
...get a better box and slap OpenWRT as suggested
...either way, setup a QoS for your box
*googling about openWRT as we speak though*
Check this too. You can limit their traffic also.
