Hello everyone,
I installed Vuze on my MacBook yesterday and like many, I struggled to switch to high ID and get the little smilies to be green ^^. I found out how to do it on this forum but after I did a port forwarding, I felt like the wifi was working much worse so I reset everything, however it seems to me that the wifi signal strength is still worse.
I'll detail what I did and what equipment I have:
*I am with Numericable and I have the Netgear CBVG834G router
*Vuze is on TCP port 57704 (which is OK I think), same for the UDP port
*I did 2 successive operations on NETGEAR GATEWAY (http://192.168.0.1/):
_yesterday I went to Advanced Settings / Port Forwarding and entered this:
Name: Vuze Start Port: 57704 End Port: 57704 Protocol: TCP my IP address at the end then add and it worked, Vuze was happy and was reaching 300 kb/s. But I reset it because I thought I had done something wrong (indeed the wifi had a hard time connecting and was very slow, even after I turned off Vuze and unplugged the modem for a few moments)
_this morning, I went back to NETGEAR GATEWAY and did the same thing but this time I selected "Both" under "Protocol". The result is the smilies are green and the NAT test is OK (so I must be on high ID) but the download speed is at 50 kb/s and the wifi is still just as bad.
Note: to assess the quality of the wifi, I use the PS3 which gives me the signal strength: before I touched anything, it was 50%, now barely 20%...
What I'm wondering is whether opening a port can be detrimental to the functioning of the modem and if I made a mistake by opening the port (for example, maybe I need to assign a different port for UDP, like 57705 and open these two ports separately).
Thank you for taking the time to read and reply if you see the problem!

Hello, if your wifi is working poorly, it's normal since Vuze is draining your connection via UDP. So no problem.
I have exactly the same problem! The smileys are green, all the configurations are set up correctly (tcp, udp port 51000) but I'm stuck at 50kb/s max! I've tried both Wi-Fi and Ethernet but nothing!
Whether I remove the config or not, I'm always at a max of 50kb so it's clear that the config isn't done properly, if anyone has any ideas.....
