On my home network I have one wireless Belkin router, a desktop PC and a laptop. My PC is plugged straight into the router. The laptop uses wireless.
When ever the laptop downloads bittorrent, it will always lock up the network after an hour or so (not sure if it locks up the whole network, but definitly stop the PC from accessing the internet). Even if I shutdown the laptop the network will remain locked up. The only way to fix it is to restart the router, then everything is fine.
What is the issue here? Is it to do with BitTorrents? or my Router? or what else?
You also might look into seeing if DD-WRT can be flashed on your model router; DD-WRT is usually more stable and reliable than stock firmware on home routers. – LawrenceC – 2012-01-22T15:12:36.433
