Re: Routers - OT: Grand Designs Episode 4 BitTorrent Release

[ho yin ng <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah that is another question I want to ask!!!

I have two connections - the one I am using with bittorrent is my telewest
line

Using a Buffalo wireless router and the motorola surfboard. But my PC is
hardwired to it.

The other modem I am using is a fairly old Alcatel Speedtouch pro to my
ADSL line. I find that people from the outside keep getting timeouts if
they are connected for a long time. I can't find a way to change the
timeout settings on my router.

Perhaps I should change the router? Is a Vigor 2600 recommended .. can I
change the timeout settings on it? how much is it? Will it work with ADSL?

Or it might be the netgear wireless access points I use to connect the
server computer to the ADSL line? But I have a feeling that is it the
Alcatel Speedtouch pro router.
