@NoviceUser404 Archer C6 v2
blocks torrenting device on your LAN due to its firewall settings.
Advanced tab>Security>Settings: UDP-Flood Attack Filtering -> set to OFF , also set ICMP & TCP flood to LOW (less sensitive firewall, won't block till some packet limits are met. Earlier if a
laptop sends out 500 packets/sec it was blocking, now it won't block till it sends 2600 packets/second as example).
Remember UDP is used for torrents & you need to turn the filtering off. This does not necessarily decrease your security as
android,
windows will have their own antivirus/firewall. I tried setting UDP filtering to low, but still it was getting blocked, so it had to turn it OFF
It doesn't "kick-off", but makes the torrent device local-only, unable to access the internet...
**Also note these settings are only for flood attacks means Denial Of Service(DoS) attacks, where attacker(s) send unnecessary traffic to your data to make the device succumb under load & not enough capacity will remain to serve the legitimate user (you).
Duh, so you will simply notice nothing is working, you'll restart the
router, maybe check logs & manually blacklist the IP. But you are protected by your ISP etc, there's a one in a million chance it will happen.
Router's are hard to hack as their OS is on a read only memory, even if your router gets hacked (botnet etc), a simple reboot will clear it.
You can also reinstall the firmware or send to svc center telling it might have been hacked & ask to send another one.
** Since you used the words "kicks the device out", restarting helps it & also you're from Kolkata, it might be due to interference from neighbour's 2.4 GHz wifi. Check if the same happens on Ethernet & 5 GHz. If there it doesn't get kicked out, it might be 2.4ghz channel congestion.
--Advanced>wireless>wl. settings>2.4ghz> Channel width - 40 MHz (instead of Auto. If old devices have problems connecting to it then, update device drivers or again set back to Auto)... This will make your router operate in larger portion of the bands & this might prevent neighboring router to use the same/close-by channel.
If that doesn't work, try setting 2.4 GHz band to Channel 13.
Otherwise Sys Parameters>2.4ghz> Beacon - 80/90 ms (lower beacon interval= more battery used by phones/laptops to stay connected) , & DTIM interval to 1
