| DD-WRT routers disconnect after highspeed downloading
I have two DD-wrt N-wireless routers, one is Buffalo with Gigalan, and the other is TP-link $20 router. Both internet can reach 100Mbps. Normal browsing is not a problem, but using torrent to download, the router will disconnect after awhile and I will have to reboot to reconnect again.
It is quite annoying if I download large files then go to sleep. Just wonder if this is a bug of DD-WRT or the routers can't handle high speed?

It's probably the router getting overloaded.

In the meantime, you can try reducing the number of connections allowed in Torrents. There should be a global maximum value, and also a maximum per torrent. Cut them both in half and see what happens.

there are not a lot of connections as I observe, maybe 1/4 or 1/5 of the maximum value. I can't find anything related on google, but one thing for sure my buffalo isn't below average in terms of speed.

Are you seeding a lot of files while downloading? If you are, try pausing them while you download.
I'm thinking the router is probably running low on memory which is causing it to crash.

^ I don't think uploading is a problem, I set it to 200mb/s.
other ports and wifi will be fine, just that particular port gets discounted.

What's the model? Some routers aren't meant to handle lots of connections.
I have a Asus 56u and don't have any issue. The 66u is a good router too.
