what make for p2p ?

Is your connection ADSL or Cable.

If cable I do a lot of P2P and use a Dlink 4300 Gamefuel router and it is solid as a rock and fast.

Hi

The linksys do not seem to be very good for P2P and torrents from what I have read. the Billion ones do seem to have had good comments, I use a Dlink DSL-624M router on ADSL at home but do not use P2P on that line as it is a work line but it handles newsgroups at full speed without issues. On my telewest connection I have a Dlink 4300 router and do a lot of P2P on that line and the router is great last time I rebooted was about 7 weeks ago and that was due to a issue on Telewest not the router.

Although I agree (in my experience) it is a rubbish router. About once a month it likes to have a lay in and not connect. :confused:

Another vote for the Linksys WAG354G. The first one I had suffered a firmware failure but the replacment seems rock solid and I have no problem with torrents.
 
If you're buying a router stick to Netgear, Linksys, Dlink. 3com and Belkin are okay too.

The router you posted ...

Would be fine however it's a cable router (not for ADSL) also it's not wireless which is something to consider in the future (laptops, pdas, ds's, psp's)

Make sure you flash to the newest firmware once you get it, Linksys also have good support.

Are you using the latest firmware?

Firmware Version: 1.01.05 I think that is the latest.

Find out if you have v1 or v2 by looking underneath the router, below the Linksys logo and near the serial number and MAC address, you have the model number and the possible version. This might say it's a v2 or v1

If it says nothing it's a v1 goto Linksys's site (make sure it's on the UK section or you get USA routers) and download/update the firmware.
 
It doesn't say.

I have the serial number though, ************* if that helps. :)


(edited out serial - *shrugs)
