| 1174780 | 2011-02-03 01:01:00 | You're the exception there Trev, not the rule ;) I'd consider yourself very lucky! 8ftmetalhaed, yes, they should be, or a very similar NB-series. They've been around for a while and PBTech and other retailers have a decent supply up their sleeves, they'll still continue to get more in as well I believe :) Also, heavy P2P usage such as torrents can place a lot of load on the cheaper routers many ISP's give out, which will either cause them to overheat, or simply just give up the ghost and spit the dummy requiring a power cycle. Lack of bandwidth will just make things go slow and applications to fail, but not the router. |

| 1174781 | 2011-02-03 02:34:00 | I have a Linksys WAG310G which seems to be able to handle several computers and sometimes two at once doing skype video to different places using Xnet fusion nDSL. So far it has run flawlessly for a year with only one reboot. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1174782 | 2011-02-03 06:53:00 | Teamspeak itself won't cause this issue, unless as above your router/modem/available bandwidth is not up to the task of handling the concurrent connections. Ventrilo is in the same boat. Although perhaps we can calrify - when you say you lose your internet connection - is that just from the 1 PC, or does the connection itself drop out? Losee the connection completely |

| 1174784 | 2011-02-03 07:00:00 | My router is a GIGASET sx 763. Re labelled as ORCON. It's not a give away one, it costs me $5 a month to hire it from Orcon | JJJJJ (528) | ||
