Title: WRT54GS V5 freezes when using bittorrent
Review: I used to have a cheaper Netgear WGR614v4 and worked great, but it lacks of QoS feature so bought a Linksys WRT54GS V5 from amazon a month ago... oh what a mistake.I am sure this router had its reputation in the past, but not V5, it is slow and freeze a lot especially when using BitTorrent (I used bitcomet and utorrent, same problem), I even upgraded to the latest firmware v1.50.8 (Linksys released on 5/30/2006) but no improvements at all. In order to avoid frequent freezes, I needed to limit no more than 3 download tasks and global network connections to be less than 100 in order to not-freeze so frequently, but it was very slow.My advice is, if you only use this router for simple internet browsing, then WRT54GSv5 will be probably fine, but once you need to add some real works such like P2P download, then avoid this particular router/version.
Is the review positive or negative?
