Thread: Please Help. Internet Resets With Bittorrent Running

Hi all. First I would like to say im exited about joining the community and I want to thank anyone beforehand before getting any help. I know this happens to a lot of people and there a ton of threads on how to fix it but my problem is with my modem and not my router as I dont use a router.

Basically during day and evening hours my connection resets over and over. At night it usually doesnt do it at all until the morning. I am using utorrent 1.8.5. I will include some pics to help anyone out and answer any questions before hand. Please let me know if I can post some additional info

My router is an Arris TM402P

good luck!

Your router can't handle the amount of connections utorrent is making. Are you connected through wireless? I used to have the same problem with my old modem while trying to torrent wireless-ly. My problem was greatly reduced when I plugged in my laptop, instead. My connection would still regularly reset itself, but it didn't happen nearly as frequently, maybe 4-5 times a day.

This.

Try lowering the global maximum number of connections.
