Firewall degrades wireless connection?

One odd thing I noticed is that if I use bit torrent at all, my wireless connection keeps on getting disconnected from my router within seconds (DGL-4300), with random disconnects with normal traffic. I have full bars the whole time. Once I uninstall ESS, or uncheck the Eset firewall in the network connections settings for my wireless adapter, my connection is totally smooth again. I'm not really sure this is reproduceable for anyone else, so it might just be a freak circumstance with my setup.

(Intel 2100 Wireless --> ESS --> DGL-4300)

 

No problems here at all. Althought I felt that browsing has become kinda slower.

 

i got slight stutters & pauses in xvids watched over wlan to my laptop... always been perfect using outpost pro, but now with ess, it got to be a pain.. so went back to outpost again..

ess needs lots of work, but hopefully it will become a fine product, ill sure try it again nearer a final build

 

no issues with wlan with ess as of now
