I am looking for a new wired router, does anybody know of any good models? My curent linkys can't handel bitorrent and crashes a lot. Is there any good routers for under 200$ that can handle a good amount of load and still be reliable?

How about a D-Link DI-604 4 Port Router? They're cheap and reliable.
I have the DI-624 wireless version, which also has 4 wired ports. It's never given me any problem whatsoever. It can do bittorrent all day long. Never a single problem. I have three computers plugged into it. All have done many massive downloads thru it.
I can't understand why a router would give trouble with bittorrent. All it sees is packets. Bittorrent packets aren't any different from any others. It's just ethernet...
Bittorrebt opens and closes tons of conections.
..don't you have an old 386/486/Pentium somewere and two NIC's?

Nope... but smooth wall is very coolOriginally Posted by lutrafobic
I own a Fritz Box 7050 - which is a combined Wire/Wireless/VOIP-Router with additional telefone system functions. A very useful piece of hardware, works with eMule, but then the Voice over IP quality suffers.
I recommand a Linksys, some of their models are running Linux ...

Before executing any commands, make sure you kow what they mean, read this first!
I second the DI-604 suggestion. Never had a problem with it. It doesn't choke on BitTorrents.
Hello,
I use a Netgear RP614 in our home network. Both my sons use bittorent on it without problems. You only have to set up Port Forwarding on it.
