Westell 2200, ISP Verizon. 864 KBits/Sec by 160 KBits/Sec connection. Using Shareaza Plus and uTorrent. Average dl speed in uTorrent about 120 kb/s in and in Shareaza Plus it depends too much for me to give you an average of what I get.

Router - Netgear Wireless WGR614v5
ISP - Ice Communications Ireland LTD
Limits - No download limit, no max GB
Speed - 2MB Download 512K Upload
Programs - uTorrent, Shareza Plus
Firewalls - Router and Windows ICF

All in all with my current setup things work great for me. Private sites give me max DL speed which always varies from 160-200KB/s but I'm very happy with that. Shareaza Plus gives out max speeds when the file has about 50+ source which I'm also happy with, I have it connecting to all ED2K, G1, G2 but not BT. Took me a good while to get it perfect with all my programs and forwarding ports (Skype, AIM ect.) but it's all good now.

Oh I forgot to mention I have NAT and use Outpost firewall.

Thanks for the replies, ill check out those routers. My dlink wbr-1310 stops responding after I leave emule running for a few hours. I left it running last night without connecting to the kad network and it was fine. I guess I just cant connect to the kad network in emule for some reason..

Hey Lifehker, I think we have the same Westell modems, in the config it's called WireSpeed DualConnect. I have a router after the modem, and am able to forward ports on it just fine, but there must be another firewall in the modem, because I still can't accept incoming connections.

I can see the modem login page, but can't change firewall settings, because the phone techs set the modem up, and the usual password won't work. Is there really a firewall in this modem do you know, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Try this for the firewall: http://192.168.1.1/fwMain.htm
And use this do forward the ports: http://192.168.1.1/nat.htm

Tell me if any of this helps.
