House Network Fixing

[MarsKitten]

here's my house setup
Cable modem ---> Telephone/Router -----> Wireless Router (dchp off)

I can't get good torrent downloads off this setup through the wireless router. How do I do this proper?

I don't understand your setup... you have a cable modem and two routers chained together? What does "Telephone/Router" mean?

Aside from that, did you open up the ports your BT client needs? Which client are you using?

Yeah the telephone/router thing is weird. And why not just get a single router that does both wired and wireless to make things less complicated?

[MarsKitten]

The telephone/router is a vonage VOIP phone deal. Basicly I had the wireless router before, and got the VOIP router free with the phone service. It serves the household as we had 3 wired computers in different rooms and the extra router was good for dividing a line between two adjacent rooms. But my dad got a wireless laptop and stopped using his wired computer and my brother moved out, so we've got the existing setup, but no need for a wired household atm, yet still need the phone services from vonage.

Have you forwarded the appropriate ports through the wireless router for BitTorrent?

Umm, assuming your wireless router is also a wired router, you could try enabling its dhcp server and setting it up like
Cable modem --> Wireless Router (dchp on) --> Telephone/Router(dchp off)

I don't understand why the vonage thing wouldn't have wi-fi anyway, or why they wouldn't just set you up with a proper ethernet phone instead some wonky digital -> analog phone box.

was forwarded to the wrong ip on the 2nd router. i'm retarded.
