    I use bittorrent fairly heavily and if I have my laptop downloading for a prolonged period of time it will stop downloading and slow up its like the router becomes clogged up and I have to turn it off and reset it so that I can resume good download speeds.

    Any ideas what might be the problem here and how I may fix it so that my router will not start to lose download speed after a period of time??

    What router?
    Firewalls?
    Have you checked logs?
    What bittorrent client?

    latest version is 4.30.5. Try upgrading and see if that helps.

    I remember reading reports that the zyxels had a problem with this "clogging up" over time. You might want to check for a firmware upgrade for the Zyxel (though you make need to take it out of bridging mode to apply an upgrade - I presume a hardwae reset will do that).
