This week I purchased an RT-N66R router, running firmware 3.0.0.4.1763
One of the features I purchased it for the was the bit torrent client. I have found an issue though, whenever I enable the download master, the router consumes my outgoing bandwidth, not sure what it is sending, or where it is sending it, it is a bit of a concern though. I have tried the following:
1. I set my torrent settings to 5kb up.
2. For amule I set the ip address to 127.0.0.1, as I read somewhere that might be the issue.
Neither of these steps have resolved the problem, I have powered off the router numerous times to see if it is something that only changes after a reboot, no difference.
Right now, if I want to use the torrent feature, I have to enable and disable the download master, otherwise I have no bandwidth left outgoing to do anything else.
Oh also, to be clear, I have emptied the torrent folders to make sure it isn't just a case of the 5kb upload not being honored.
After reading other posts in other forums, I discovered that the RT-N66R is just an RT-N66U, so I decided to install the Merlin firmware (love the extra features thank you). I installed 220.18 yet experience the same issue
Would love to be able to use this feature without losing my outgoing speed.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
