Hi Piers, a few things to check ... if your routers web interface supports it, try to change the following parameters: - Maximum connections (how many "connections" your router can handle - since UDP is a "connection-less" protocol, you could try to crank up that number) - UDP connection timeout (the time the router considers a UDP "connection" active after it received/transmitted the last packet - lower that to the absolute minimum) My Linksys WRT54G DD-WRT firmware supports changing those parameters, you have to check if your Buffalo router can do that, too... > Thanks very much for your time! > > Regards - Piers Thank _you_ for joining the pool!
