Please recommend me router

[SuperGreenHorn]

Hello all,

I'm looking for a new router. Please give me ur recommendation for the best router that can do:

1) BT
2) BT + wide range
3) BT + wide range + dual wan (which i can load DD-WRT for load balancing)

For the first one, any brand any model, all can do de.

you can self-service dd-wrt supported hardware here:

using wrt54g with ddwrt v24sp1 .. but still hangs when too many connections .. something wrong? hope to find another 1 that can handle more connections

[phuque99]

maybe try v24sp2 or tomato bah.

You can reduce no. of connection, P2P will still work as it should, and all routers can work :)

[SuperGreenHorn]

any model out there that can handle more connections?

[phuque99]

what is "more"? I think most can do up to 4096 and custom firmwares will allow you to turn it up higher via the command line if your piracy activity is very hiong. both ddwrt and tomato can set short timeouts to recover the tcp router table when pirate peers drop the connections when too hiong.

my wrt54g is set for 4096 now ... and configured to drop 1/2 connections within less than 60s. but sometime still hang. cos within the household will have 3 BT clients running simultaneously. thus gotta fine something that can handle

[phuque99]

i think what ever louter you use, if there's no disclipline also jialat lah. you can further add iptables rules to drop excessve connection that would kill your louter.

u set each bt client to 250 max connection count i am sure any model, even the cheapest router also can handle bt. setting to a low connection does NOT mean you cant get good speeds.

Set so high no point de. Besides u can throw all ur job for 1 PC just to handle P2P instead.

[phuque99]

maybe if no discipline kind of household, can add this iptable rule to your firewall section of your router:

iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp -m iprange --src-range 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.250 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 250 -j DROP
