Routers which work 100% with Azureus AFTER portforwarding

[naughty_Aaron]

After discovering bittorrent software a couple of months ago, I was very impressed. It literally revolutionised my downloading habits as it was (and remains to be) the only technology that I know of which allows one to download albums, not individual tracks, at a time.

I bought an Asus WL500g wireless router and started to have problems. I didn’t have a firewall, had no zonealarm, PLUS I had port forwarded everything. The problem was, the Wan port kept dying, I got disconnects, yellow faces, and no decent download speeds (which on a 3mb cable connection is hella frustrating!!) as described here (http://www.chupa.nl/forum/showthread.php?t=437)

I returned the device and got my money back.

Now, I want to get a WIRELESS router that works with Azureus, as downloading stuff is the ONLY reason I use the Internet. Can anybody tell me models of wireless routers which work 100% with Azureus, no disconnects, no yellow faces, etc, AFTER port forwarding (I'm not a noob who doesn’t know that this is the first thing you have to do).

I was thinking of getting a Belkin wireless router, does anyone advise against this? Any router should also be easy for your average Joe to be able to install by themselves.

Also, does anyone know of any non-bittorrent programs by which you can download entire albums in case it all fails?

I use a d-link DI-614+. Works fine. Azureus can even port map through it without setting the the router.

If I limit the new connections per minute, which I have done recently, I have no problems with BitTorrent.

I use:

LinkSys wired 4 port - model BEFSR41 Series 2

Go for Buffalo wireless router (WBR-G54 or newer). Port forwarding function is simple and great.
But to mention, I never use Azureus, since java eat up my PC resources :tol

LinkSys is my brand, The wireless 4 point router BEFW11S4.
Everything works beautiful after you forward.

Never had a problem with Linksys. Dude my connection was dropping alot too and pissing me off. I had to go into network properties for your wireless and turn off the IEEE 801.1x
authentication for my network. The signal has not dropped since.
My signal is still encrypted and I get almost full speed from my cable modem
(albit a bit slower because of the wireless)

I use the LinkSys WRTG54 wireless router, works fine.

Plus, it makes toast.
