Hi All, Please go easy if any etiquette inadvertently broken. Almost never post on forums and even less on technical issues...Reasonably novice with computer stuff but should hopefully be able to follow instruction at least! I have just swapped previous Vodafone Home gateway SHG1500 for newer supplied HG659. Rang Vodafone to make sure its set up alright although there was almost nothing to do. Basically a straight swap for the 3 Lan cables i had plugged into old modem (Computer, Sky, Smart TV), and they all seem to be working fine in isolation, as well as the WIFI connection to devices. One curious thing that is happening and cant seem to find anything on the net about is this..If my torrent client is running (and i mean running at all, even if no bandwidth being used), if i attempt to connect to internet through a browser, the connection times out. Also my android device will have a ? appear next to WIFI signal, and tells me "internet may not be available", and sure enough browser on that will also time out. The instant i exit the torrent client, internet resumes normal transmission.Have sought advice from Vodafone help desk who didn't seem to have much of a clue. To isolate the problem i swapped older modem back in, sure enough it works fine, no conflict with client running and browser working. Help desk then suggested it might be the increased security on the new modem, so changed firewall settings on modem (reluctantly) to disabled, as they were already set to low. This did not help either (so have since turned back on).Iv tried a couple of suggestions for similar issues from torrent forums such as reducing max global connections but to no avail. I have seen a couple of things on the internet about setting up Static IP as possible solution to similar problems but its all new to me so dont want to look at that unless i know theres a good chance it would fix the problem, and i still cant understand why that would be required when i did not have this problem with older modem.Any help would be much appreciated thanks
