I know it’s a very popular router, but don’t. Just read this thread. There are at least 30 people just in that thread complaining of the same problem and I just discovered I was one of them.

Apparently this router has some sort of problem with forwarding UDP that makes it lose all connections periodically. Different people lose the connections at different intervals, but for me it was about every 5 minutes. It also looks like this problem has been around for a long time.

Edit: It’s a v4, that seems to have a lot to do with it.

I’ve also discovered that it decides to stop working completely at 11:30PM every night. Um…yeah….
