Transmission stops in a few seconds with Eero router

Post by tmcdanel »

We needed better wifi coverage between our house and our rental next door than we had with our Zyxel C3000z router, so i bought a Eero. Oddly it would not configure to our CenturyLink fiber independently, so we simply plugged it into the Zyxel, gave the wifi network a different name, and it is faster with better coverage, including accommodating PIA VPN. But here's the thing-

If i open Transmission, with VPN running, on the Eero network, it stops in less than a minute and goes to zero. Transmission still works fine on the old Zyxel network. i am not uploading nor downloading anything copyrighted.

Considering the Eero works fine otherwise with VPN, What could be the problem?
What is the fix?

Transmission v4.01
MacOS Ventura 13.1
Amazon eero 6+ mesh Wi-Fi system

Are you downloading anything particularly large? It can take the Mac's file system a while to allocate large files, especially if the HD is fragmented. This is (currently) a synchronous operation. IOW, while it's being done, Transmission is otherwise idle.

Another possibility is network performance. Ping around to see what's what...
