The login process FTP thru a WRT150N to remote servers is quite slow, around 10 seconds. After that transfers go rapidly in both directions. It was suggested that I set a "Port Triggering Range" for FTP but it did not help. After I noticed that the delay seemed to be servers associated with a specific ISP, I contacted them and got this reply: The delay is due to the IDENT/AUTH request that comes from the FTP server when you connect. It is a server-dependent setting and is fairly common and applies to other services as well (i.e. SMTP, and even POP3/IMAP).. The good thing is it is usually easy to set up your router to send back a "reset" message (i.e. block the connection and send back a notice vs. silently block) when the request comes in. That will allow the IDENT/AUTH to happen quickly (almost instantaneous). I don't see anything about this in the admin page.
