Re: [Wired] Limited network capacity for some of Linksys Routers

Well the joy didn't last, and the BEFSR41 V4 borked again with Bitcomet. Being fed up I did what a normally brand-loyal individual would do - go for a competing product. I acquired a D-Link router (DI-604 to be exact) and set it up in place of the Linksys. Results? BAM! The D-Link can handle Bitcomet's activities extremely well! No problems of being unable to surf the 'net despite heavy Torrent activity. Even better - the D-Link seems to have some really big fat pipes in its innards, being able to allow Bitcomet to sustain 500kbps+ downloads without any hiccups (and still permit other computers to surf the net like nothing else is going on).

So I guess it's goodbye Linksys

Which version of DI-604 hardware & firmware? Tell us! Thanks...
[Edit] Why do I ask? From 2004-2007 I used a DI-604 for remote admin of 4 computers and a webcam. It was reliable only as long as I didn't use logging, emailing, DNS, or NTP, and stuck with only NAT and port-forwarding. But it took weeks learn these limitations, with frequent requests to the remote staff to power-cycle it. If the DI-604 has improved significantly, I'd be happy to know about it.
(Just noticed it's discontinued: In the US, only the rev. E hardware has any firmware updates, which ended in 2007.)
