| Replacement router suggestion
my D-Link DIR-655 is crapping out on me for a long time already, it restarts itself every so often, somewhere along the lines of 10-20 times a day, very annoying. i think im gonna replace it, but not sure what i should replace it with. any suggestions out there?

WRT54GL + DD-WRT + high gain antennas. Add more of this same package and use them as a repeater if you need to increase the coverage.

I think the Asus N routers are fantastic, and very well priced.

I just picked up an ASUS WL 520GU for $30 and flashed it with tomato. Great router if you have any non-N devices (only buy an N router if all your devices are N compatible btw otherwise you are wasting your money).
D-link 615 is a decent cheap router. Linksys WRT54GL is always a good choice too.

Remember, the number of connection does not correlate with the download speed. More is not often better. You will over saturate your available bandwidth, and experience in a decrease of speed.
Based on my personal experience, I downloaded 12 torrents of some popular media, with over 150 seeders each, from a private torrent tracker. No problems at all.

Been terribly unsatisfied with my DIR-615 that I got a few months ago now. I got it to replace of all things, an older D-Link router, as well.
I recently got the Asus RT-N13U and will let you know how that is, but from all reviews, Asus routers seem to be fairly solid.

No problems at all. | try downloading BT at full bandwidth and streaming HD content + file transfers throughout the network and see if your router still works  | |

Its a waste of time attempting to do anything while using torrent. Torrent kills BW, regardless of the router.
