Hi,
I've been using my new asus wl 500g for a month now since my dlink died and that worked like crap :(
First i had the disconnet issue and the no lease found issue but that got fixed with placing a small hub between motorolla modem and the router.
Now everything is running smooth except for one thing:
For my thesis at school i'm forced to use the FTP from the company i'm doing my job for. I need to download (mostly small) dozens of pictures and files every day (vary from 10k to sometime 10meg).
All is well up to that point, the only thing is that they are using a windows based ftp server and that you can't use passive transfer (to counter ftp hacking i guess). You have bind sockets to your (external) ip and choose a number of ports to use while downloading because active transfer requires that.
So what i did was limit my ports to 9000-9100 in ftp client and forward those ports (9000:9100) on my router with virtual server.
This all worked fine (except some failure due to the port being in use) untill a few days ago. Since that moment the following happens: i start the downloading of a file at port 9000, after that file it start the download of the next at port 9001 and the download starts but the speed remains stuk at 0kbps. If i disconnect and reconnect it does the same at port 9002 and so on ...
I didnt change my router or ftp settings and i tried using factory defaults but no luck :(
Any ideas how to solve this, the only way i can still get my files now is do a server to server transfer to the schools public ftp and then get the files from there but that server is bw limited to 25k each (big school) so it takes me several hours to do what ussually takes minutes.
