Region : Argentina

Model : TL-WDR4300

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP :


As it states in the title, with this 3.14.3 Build 150518 firmware, as soon as I activate torrent downloading (qBittorrent), I can no longer use internet (most webpages don't load anymore).

Back to 150302 for me.

Thanks for replying M Diamond, but that solution would be sensible if one PC had connection troubles, while another PC was eating all the bandwidth.

In my case it is the same PC that is downloading and then not able to connect to the internet anymore.
The PC is running smoothly for a long time now, same provider, same config, same modem, same router. The only thing I changed was the new firmware.
I switched back to 150302, and now all is well again.
So it is definitely a problem with the new firmware 150518.

You can just simply upload the lower firmware to downgrade? Having same issues, along with spotty WiFi signals. :mad:

Downloading stops as well after you activate torrent downloading and cannot connect to internet?

What's the version of qBittorrent you tested? Can you provide a download link if possible?

qBittorrent v3.1.9.2
I don't think it's wise to post download links.
Downloading torrents continued while internet access stopped.

Other clients in the network can still access internet normally, right?
Can you try to install qBittorrent on a different PC and test if the problem is the same?
Try to allocate more bandwith for the PC installed qBittorrent. It still sounds like that bandwidth is occupied byqBittorrent...

I'm sorry, I am not prepared to do all such kinds of testing.
I'll be staying on 150302.
