I am a not a complete idiot when it comes to computers but I am certainly not in the league of most (all?) of you. Anyway, I managed to upload the DD-WRT software to my Netgear WNDR3300 without destroying it and I also managed to configure it to work as a repeater for my home network. It works very well for regular internet usage but I have found that when I try to download torrent files using UTorrent they download very slowly. So slowly in fact that I disconnect from the Netgear router/repeater and just connect directly to my regular network router, at which time the UTorrent downloads speed right up again.

My question is: Is there something that I need to do to further configure the Netgear unit so that it will work with torrent downloads?

Thanks

how would we know if there is something you need to adjust on the netgear, we don't know how it's setup even now..

Try orienting the antennae in a V pattern.
