So I've been having this really weird connection issue with my router, the connection going to my computer is wired, and anytime I start downloading @ extremely fast speeds, my router seems to cut the connection for like 5 seconds, then come back up. If I'm downloading a game from Steam, or even from a website if it breaks 2MB/Sec(This is my max speed give or take) my connection just stops.
My router is using factory settings, and is using the latest firmware.
This doesn't happen if I plug straight to my cable modem, and if I don't break the 2MB barrier it doesn't happen at all, IE if I never download anything large/fast I can go about my business and it never dips off.
In the router, disable UPnP. Under wireless settings set Beacon Interval 50, RTS and Fragmentation threshold to 2304. Set to channel 1. Save settings and connect again.
Changing the MTU setting from Auto->Manual and lowering it to 1400 resolved my issue, downloading World of Warcraft Beta @ a solid 2MB/Sec for 10 minutes now and no random dips offline. Thank you.
