If it were configured differently, you probably could. I would expect that I should be able to connect to the AEBS regardless of the state of my cable modem or the Linksys router. In theory, your switch should isolate the rest of the network, but only for network activity that does not involve the internet. It is almost like your are running a DDoS attack on yourself. Torrent software is the most extreme environment that network equipment can encounter. ![]() ![]() Well, it could be some other device too, maybe the Linksys. Needless to say, I have no idea how to properly Google this, but in my searches, I haven't found anything similar.įorgive my ignorance, but what does the cable modem being overloaded, or even plugged in, have to do with my MacBook attaching to a WAP that is not the router? What in the world could be going on that would cause the MacBook AEBS connection to drop when torrenting, considering the torrent connection is strictly on wire?! The thing that floors me is, I have my MacBook set for static addressing, so even if it was an issue with the router being flooded and not able to respond to the DHCP address, that should fix it. If I go to the Windows box (or can RDC it within the 10 seconds) and shut down uTorrent, everything returns to normal, and my signal works reliably. If I click this menu icon, turn airport off, then back on, I'll get connected for about 10 seconds again, then the cycle starts over. I can actually do things online in those 10 seconds, which proves to me that it has a valid connection, but it'll just drop it, and you can watch the Airport icon in the menu bar keep scanning for a signal. SOMETIMES (maybe 60% of the time), when the torrents get flowing, if I open the notebook, it'll attach to the AEBS, then within 10 seconds, it'll lose the signal. Periodically, I'll RDC the Windows machine and use it to download torrents. I have a MacBook Pro that connects to the AEBS wirelessly (N). Off of one of these switch ports, on another floor of the house, I have plugged in a AEBS which is just in bridging mode. This is attached to a Cisco 2900XL 24 port 10/100 switch. This is the main router, and acts as a DHCP server as well. I have cable modem attached to a Linksys WRT-54G with DD-WRT v.24sp1. ![]() Ok, let's see if I can explain this right.
