Router keeps dropping connection

I have it installed with that Gargyole firmware someone recommended. People said it was just much better than stock firmware.

Anyways...my connection is 150Mb/s Comcast. I get aroudn 14.4MB/s max, which is insanely good. My modem is a SB6121.

It didn't used to happen when I first put the Router in. I use it for Wireless pretty much. Someone said basically what is happening is too many connections are coming in.

So I looked in and saw a connection limits thing and set them to the limit it allowed. No improvement. What can I do? The router says it support 300Mb/s, so I'm rather confused by this as an issue really...

It mainly happens with Torrents, but just recently I tried to download a steam game.

What happens is within 10-15s, my connection drops and will then come back on and continue to drop until I stop the download.

Known problem

I understand it is caused by many reasons.

Eric has suggested that moving to CC will help but I can only suggest buy the most powerful router you can find and turn off all features you don't need.

sorry
