    Is anyone having problems streaming with their new routers. Getting chronic stuttering problems every few seconds or just a total freeze. Never had these problems with my old Linksys WRT54GL. Not very impressed if it's a hardware problem. Is there any settings I need to config maybe?

    Yes turn off the flood protection under the firewall settings.

    There is no check in the box for that setting so I assume it's off by default???

    Not sure you might try just turning off the full firewall you really do not need it.

    I'll give it a bash and see if it works. Thanks for your help.

    You should not surf the net without a firewall, it's a terrible idea to rely on the windows firewall...
