If you start getting frequent disconnections in particular programs but not others (commonly Instant Messenger programs) then raise your TCP timeout to at least 600 or more.If you set them too low then the router will forget connections too quickly and active connections will be dropped.
The above settings control how long it takes before inactive TCP & UDP connections are forgotten by the router.
TCP Timeout (s): between 300 to 900 (higher is safer, lower can forget connections too quickly, DO NOT EVER GO BELOW 300 (5 minutes)!!). Maximum Ports: 4096 (For an 8MB RAM model set it no higher than 1024). Enter the following values at 'IP Filter Settings'. Go to the Web Interface of the DD-WRT Device and log in. Kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet.Īfter you have rebooted and turned off any heavy P2P applications: Eventually, it will get verbose and you'll see logs similar to the following :. First, you'll see 'full, dropping packet.' messages followed by 'messages suppressed.'. From the CLI:Ĭat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_maxĤ096 # Here the router displays the maximum number of possible connections. Check to see if your problem is caused by TCP or UDP connections. If that's not possible, reboot the DD-WRT Device. Try to use the CLI to communicate with your router. Close all your P2P/network applications and wait a few minutes for connections to be freed. When this 'slowdown' occurs and the router doesn't respond to pings nor Web Interface requests, you still can check what's going on: Web Interface The default management method, open a browser to or your custom DD-WRT Device's LAN IP. Although configuration in other methods besides 'router' is possible, such a 'bridge', this article and phenomena only occurs in the default router configuration of DD-WRT. Within the context of this article does not mean Skype, or other 'lite' P2P applications.ĭD-WRT Device A Router running third-party, DD-WRT firmware. Definitions P2P Peer to Peer applications. Routers affected with this issue are the most common types of routers running DD-WRT. Especially BitTorrent's DHT feature sends thousands of UDP packets that quickly overflow this table. These programs, by default, can require a lot of connections which could cause the routers' ip_conntrack table to get full. #Firewall udp unreplied software#
Usually the culprits are heavy P2P software like Emule, Bittorrent, uTorrent, Azureus, Shareaza or something similar.
Slow web-interface, or cannot connect at all to web interface. The router becomes 'slow' over time, and restarting helps for a short time. Issues occur with many routers, including routers running DD-WRT, when using the router with heavy P2P applications.
