I bought a wrt54g router, version 6 and found out that uTorrent, or any P2P file sharing program is not very compatible with this model.
from utorrent.com FAQ

The default firmware for Linksys (and all replacement firmwares except for the latest DD-WRT and HyperWRT Thibor) have a severe problem where they track old connections for FIVE days, which causes the router to hang when using P2P apps, or any software that generates a lot of connections. DHT only aggravates the situation because of the number of connections it generates.

Anyway, the problem is basically my internet disconnects every hour (or so) whenever I have uTorrent open (on a wireless pc).
uTorrent FAQ suggested that I use third party firmware for my router but I looked around and it doesn't seem like any are around for the version 6.
Anyone have any solutions? Or links to good third party firmware? I'm a noob so you might wanna give instructions if you find a link for me
Thanks in advance.
PS: I'll try using utorrent on a desktop if it will still disconnect. If it doesn't, perhaps I don't need a solution xD
