Don't know if it will help but your driver is out of date the link below has the newest one I could find. I don't know if the driver for your realteck is out of date or not but the second link is for the latest driver for it. The 3rd link is for a patch you can apply to windows to open more connections it raises it from the default 10 to 50

ok, I installed the drivers and the from 10 to 50 connection tcpip, the new driver helped but now it's dropping more frequently and I noticed that when it does the chanel drops from 11 to a different channel, in the picture I attached for one second it dropped to channel 7 and in windows task manager and limewire my connection both dropped to 0, any idea why it's doing that?

here is what the normal channel looks like when my connection is steady, then it drops, it has an obvious pattern, i just can't figure out what's causing it.

ok, took the test, it was 1404/338, on wireless, advertised 1500/384. I attatched the tweak results, I might just transfer back to a different limewire, I only really got the problem when I got the new release 4.10.0 and started using my wireless for limewire downloads.

Try a wire to the modem and to the router for awhile.

Dropouts gone? How close are you to any airports or major weather stations? ;]

Limewire and only limewire does the same thing to me. Using Verizon DSL, completely drops my modem/router connection during some downloads. No internet connections work at all and the modem resets the connection. There is most definitely a problem with Limewire in this regard.

Do any of you have lots of incomplete files & use the Resume/Find Sources on them all? I'm asking because if this function is applied to all or too many simultaneously, this can cause LW, your computer & devices problems. It can affect communication between the devices & computer, & if you're using UPnP then it of course can affect communication between LW & the device to keep the NAT port open. Just a thought. Maybe doesn't apply in your cases.

Not me. Strangely, in my case it seems to be file specific. Some files come down fine, but others seem to kill the DSL modem every time I try them, even if they're from different sources.
