Hi,

My old DSL-302G gives me "WARNING : ATM VC Congested : Interface - aal5-0, PortId=7, Vpi=0, Vci=100" on every 30 seconds.

What does it mean, could this mean there is room for improve my DSL connection?

BTW, is there any actual performance difference in STv536 v6 / DSL-302G / DSL-502T in terms of DSL connectivity? (I got separate wireless router designed for longer coverage, so I don't need any "Routing" feature on the modem side) I'm using GoLarge and connected around 6~7mbps (downstream, not actual speed unfortunately) / 160kbps (upstream).

Cheers

Shin

It means that your modem cannot support the number of connections you're trying to make. You're probably using bit-torrent.

a quick google for that same error message brought up 165 matches...

I see.. that's why the Google page even not opens up during the download! heh :)

Thank you :)

Your torrents will probably be saturating your upload bandwidth too making web pages respond very poorly.

If you are using utorrent set a lower limit on the number of connections and the upload speed in the options, the defaults are normally too aggressive.
