Hi all, I'm new here and having a go at W7.
My problem: When ever i do certain things online that require large amounts of bandwidth my router seems to crap out and i have to restart it for it to gain internet access again. If i plug directly to my modem everything is fine so thats how i've come to the conclusion that its my router. It only seems to happen when im playing video games like WoW and occasionally CS:S, generally anything where there might be large ammounts of packet transfers. Heres a little info to help.
Router: linksys BEFSR41 v2 firmware 1.45
Network card: Realtek RTL8168B/8111B Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet
running w7 RC 7100
I've also tried unchecking IPv6 for good measure since my router is old, and forwarding any and all used ports for the applications that seem to kill it. For the record this doesnt happen in my XP or Vista 64 install.
Any ideas?
