After downloading for an hour or so, the Wi-Fi connection on my tablet stops working; forcing me to restart my router(it basically hangs when trying to connect).
This only happens when downloading torrents.
WIRED connection on my desktop PC with router still works fine; no issues at all.
I tired to lower the number of global connections to 50, but I still have the problem. I have also updated to the latest Linksys firmware.
One PC, a tablet and a smartphone.
I have COX cable.
Please let me know if you need any other info. Thank you!

Have you ever tried downloading large files or doing any other network tests to ensure it's not your drivers wigging out due to how certain protocols work over wifi? ... Side note, it's also VERY possible it's just your router (regardless of firmware); I had an old Belkin router that did the same thing, turns out it was the hardware buffering system the WiFi chips used that would cause buffer timeouts (dropping my connections) :/ .. – txtechhelp – 2014-01-01T22:59:01.710
200mb to 4gig plus... I have tried both and save result. I have not done any tests. The router is somewhat new..it's a E1200, – bryan – 2014-01-01T23:32:33.173
