wifi signal disconnecting

[deate]

i dont have the option to connect it directly with my router because is in another room but when i use windows i dont have problem with surfing on sites and same time downloading torrents. mainly the problem starts when i start a torrent client . i thought was the transmission application but i tried deluge and others and problem is still here. at the moment i use deluge

Is your system a laptop?

[kyriakos]

no my system is not laptop the router i use is from netfaster and the wifi usb adapter is from belkin rated as g++ plus and is not really far is only a room away

I HAD PROBLEM WITH MY WIFI SIGNAL TOO! WORKING FINE WITH OPERA AND FIREFOX BUT EVERYTIME I DOWNLOAD A TORRENT DROPS THE SIGNAL AFTER 20-30 MINUTES AND IS NOT COMING BACK UNLESS I REBOOT . I USED ALL THE MAIN TORRENT APPS LIKE DELUGE TRANSMISSION AND AZUREUS BUT I HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THEM. NOW I USE DELUGE BUT I STILL REBOOT ALL TIME SO IS ALMOST NOT USABLE FOR BIG FILES. ANY IDEA? I DID HARD RESET MY ROUTER AND I USED THE ABOVE TORRENT CLIENTS

capslock broke?

[kyriakos]

no its not broken. i just was rushed and sometimes i dont really pay attention on details like this one

'no its not broken. i just was rushed and sometimes i dont really pay attention on details like this one'
That might explain why your wifi keeps disconnecting.

ok hehe yesterday was first time that torrent and net was running together for many hours but the difference was that i had only one torrent for download and not many like other times so maybe i push it to much. my connection is 2.5mb downloading and 512 uploading

First I want to say that Ultimate Edition 2.1 is my first try with an Ubuntu-based distro. What I can say after round four hours is, that I'm impressed. You've done a good job.

But I've had the same problem with my ordinary wired router. Every 2 minutes or so this nasty window popped up "disconnected"..."connecting" and so on. Very annoying. BTW, it's a DHOP router and worked/works fine on my Debian and Solaris partitions. Okay. my solution was: deinstalling the KDE-network manager and keeping only the gnome network manager. It seems that they can't work together properly. After doing that I have a rock solid permanent connection.

That's good to know, thank you.

Nice tip! thank you for sharing this information

Kyriakos, So is it my understanding, that when you boot up windows. and start a torrent file the torrent stays active throughout your windows session? if that's the case, then Here are a few options:

wait a few minutes before restarting your computer, gives the router time to fully recognize that you are on another operating system that has the same mac address.

Remove and reinstall the torrent client/s. Also look for the option to configure the router to accept the port number as a relatively safe open port. ( this should be under one of the option tabs on the client you are using).

google your ISP to see if they participate in packet shaping ( they may be cutting you off or restricting your data flow due to too many connections to an IP addreess or too much data going out)


But, I would really try to get a direct hardline connection first to eliminate the wireless problem.
