I'm having a persistent problem where my entire network crashes while downloading torrent files. When this happens, the Internet light on mi424wr rev. e router turns orange and a simple reset of the router does not fix the problem. I have to physically pull the battery from the ONT to reconnect to the internet.
I have a basic understanding of networking. I wanted to keep all cable box features so I can't get rid of the Actiontec. I connected my Linksys WRT400N router running DD-wrt firmware to the Actiontec using a LAN-to-LAN connection. This was simply to provide 802.11n connectivity. I turned DHCP off on the Linksys and set its ip as 192.168.1.2.
My computer is connected to the wireless n connection from the Linksys. At first I thought that my torrent program was creating too many connections and crashing the network. However, after trying a number of settings, including limiting total connections to as low as 30 total, my network still crashes. It takes between 5-15 minutes before it completely dies and it forced me to recycle the ONT.
I think my problem has to be connected to how I've connected my linksys router. What am I missing here? Can someone offer me some assistance? Thanks!
