Hey peeps,

So I am facing a weird issue. Whenever I run torrent on my laptop then wifi stops working on other devices. Like they are still connected but no internet. I have to stop torrent so that it works again. This wasn't happening earlier.
Any ideas?

Put a speed limit on your torrent app.

Does not work. As soon as the torrent client starts. The wifi on other devices doesn't work.
I have 150mbps connection. Now I have limited torrent to 4 mbps. Still typing this from my sim data.

Even limited the connections to 10 in the torrent client still nothing.

Which app you using to download torrent? Or it's happening even if you use other apps to download torrents
 
Mostly not an issue with speed, but with the connections its making with other peers, causing the router to spectacularly slow down to the point its effectively a DoS attack :laughing:

I'm having the same issue. Started yesterday as well. Before it was working fine. Using deluge. I get DNS issues so tried changing the cloudflare/google's dns in the router itself from 'DNS proxy' under LAN settings. Were you able to find a solution?

No bro. Next I will try to use another router connected to this jio router. I have openwrt installed on it.. let's see.

Will try. Can you send your connection screencap?

Here you go, I usually download one at a time so 50 works for me.
Also as someone suggest, you should use cloudflare dns, you can set that up in pc or in router to make it network wide.

The router in question must be crap if it can't handle multiple connections from qbittorrent. I have mine set to 2000 connections (global, download and upload all 3) and it's fine for me. That doesn't mean the router hasn't crapped before. But it's very rare and mostly due to long period of uptime.

It was working fine. This one was replaced due to the same issue. Then this new one was working good and now suddenly it's crap. Maybe new firmware.


Update:- nothing works, dns change doesn't help, another openwrt router doesn't t work.
This is a shit router which jio has provided.

Can you try setting up the jio router as passthrough/switch with your own router managing the dns & nat ?

If nothing else works, check if you can run torrents with a vpn(both tcp & udp ones).

Its the ****ing firmware update. 3.x something.
Older firmware worked fine. Then router decided to update itself.

In that case I'm sure setting up Jio's router as switch (if possible) should resolve your issue. Maintaining connection states for NAT (specially for torrents with 100s of connections) is more taxing on your router than just dumb forwarding IP packets.

If it's not possible, then figure out a way to ditch your current router and get a new one from them. Routers routinely fail in unexpected ways ;)
