Disable Mega 105WR Firewall?

[Chemogen]

So I'm using Telkom as an ISP and using their router. I'm having the yellow-light problem with uTorrent and have done every tweak imaginable, I've forwarded at least 3 ports for uT and tried them all. No luck though, still that godforsaken yellow light.

I've noticed in the router settings that Firewall is enabled and I'm wondering if this is what's block uT, however I can't find where to disable it. Any suggestions?

Enable uPNP on the router, and in uTorrent and connect. (uTorrent = uPNP)

Do I need to restart the router, still got the yellow light although I am downloading and uploading, just not what I'd expect from a 4mb line and a torrent with good availability. Download struggles to go higher than 15kb/s while my upload speeds can soar. Enabling UPnP seems to have slowed down everything. The Utorrent Port Forward test also never seems to open for me when I try use it.

Forget about forwarding ports, the uPNP WILL NOT slow things down, lines are shaped during the day and that will cause slow speeds, try it after 6 tonight and see if it improves (I can't say it will, I don't use torrents).

You don't need to restart the router, but you need to save the settings, remove all the ports first which you forwarded.

Thought so, just double check where you download and what you download, I've heard of more than one person getting in trouble with torrents

Should I have no problem in getting an optimum connection with UPnP enabled on the router and the client?

Depends, line quality, line shaping, seeds, many factors play a role, like I said try it after 6 tonight and see if it improves, if it doesn't then you're pretty much stuffed.

I use bridge mode on the router and Zone Alarm in windows. Also use the settings from the speed guide in uTorrent. Only download at night, like a vampire coming out to feed!!
