Router Crashes when sycing via WLAN

[randlega]

Hi,

I'm having a lot of fun playing around with BTSync on my home network, but I was wondering if anyone could explain why my router crashes when I try to sync via wifi. When I connect my laptop to my router using an ethernet cable, the transfers happen smoothly. But if I try to do it over wifi, my router crashes and I lose internet access, although the transfer still continues.

One of my PC's is a desktop (always wired connection) and the other is my laptop. I'm really just curious as to why it's happening more than how to fix it. It's a cheap router, but I haven't really had any issues so far with it crashing.

Cheers

Did your router crashes when you are using BitTorrent ?

For a while yes, but I modified the max number of connections. I read somewhere that less robust routers can have problems with too many connections, and after adjusting that BitTorrent stopped crashing. Would it be the same problem even when syncing over a LAN?

I was about to say, it's probably an issue with your router. The BTSync client isn't something that you can simply modify the number of connections with -- so basically it's a hardware problem and you'll have to upgrade to fix the issue. Your router is simply too old.

Ok cool, that's what I was thinking too, but just wanted to make sure. I'll be sticking with this router for a while (probably until it breaks), but just wanted to see of it was the same issue.
