Hi,

This is behaviour I've observed that if I start a torrent client and start any download that frequently all connections will die for a period of time along with the wan. Then it'll reconnect to the internet, work for a bit then die again. Once the bittorrent client is closed then it starts working normally again.

I have had to go back to the router that the 2925 was meant to replace. It isn't so bad in the sense that I don't really fire up bittorrent that often but it is unacceptable that starting bittorrent kills my internet connection and the network ports.

Has anyone experienced this behaviour?

I haven't particularly, I've always found that draytek routers handle bittorrent traffic quite well. Do you have anything like DoS defense enabled or App Enforcement? If so, check the syslog output as that should say whats happening.

They're disabled.

Looking at it closer it appears as though the router itself is rebooting and it consistently happens with bittorrent traffic.

Ah okay, I don't actually have a 2925 but could you try turning off hardware acceleration to see if that makes a difference?

Also you could check with older firmware like 3.7.8.1 from here: ftp://ftp.draytek.com/Vigor2925/Firmware/

Good idea, I'll see how it goes for the next few days.

Turning off hardware acceleration and downgrading the firmware to 3.7.8.1 appears to have resolved this, the router hasn't rebooted or dropped connectivity.
