I own a WZRG300NH, I have it set up in client mode and everything works. The only problem i have is whenever I'm running my torrent client on my PC which is connected to the router, I average 2Mb or so which is fine since it's a shared internet for my apartment complex. But everything else is extremely slow like general surfing or Netflix, basically everything but downloading a torrent. I can barely load web pages! When i try to run a speed test, most of the time it fails due to a timout I have the latest Buffalo ddwrt installed but i had the same problem before i upgraded the firmware. Why would using utorrent be the only way i could achieve full speed? Please be kind, this is my first post in this wonderful forum.

Torrents use p2p, webpages use HTTP, different connections, ports etc

It's possible you have a proxy set ?

Check Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN button at the bottom > Make sure nothing is checked in any of the boxes especially the proxy one

Need more input..

Which build number did you say you were using? And how are your wireless settings looking? How strong of signal do you got to the host AP. No details of settings of how you setup the client bridge either, alot of this info is useful in trouble shooting.
