Hello, anyone who has an answer for this would be great. I am using a Net gear wireless router (WNDR3300v2). For some reason every time I attempt to upload a large file online, to any file host it does not work. It will upload sometimes half way or so, then just stop transferring the data. My Upload speed is at 0.97mbps, and down is 10mbps+. I have never had problems out of this router before, so I am a little lost with this one. I have firewalls disabled and everything else I could think of. I am running Vista 32bit home. Any ideas would be great thanks.

Although the first thing that does come to mind, given what you have said, would be interference. If the signal is bad long enough for the connection to time out, it will.
Well, after changing the radio band settings to the 2.4 GHz range for wireless G & N instead of using 5 GHz for wireless N, everything seem to work. I was able to successfully upload my 171MB sized file with ease. Obviously, I will need to continue testing, to make sure the problem will not return, before I can confidently conclude that it was the radio aspect of the router that was troublesome. I should have tried this before hand, after reading other post about this specific router having 5 GHz band issues. Thank you all for your responses.
It depends what protocol you are using. But some protocols are blocked on wifi routers. Find out the ports that your application are using and make sure they are forwarded in the router. For example in a dlink router you have to allow utorrent through the virtual server tab.
that there would be no communication over the port/protocol at all. Then again, I've seen some weird behavior from routers, so a leaky iptables/firewall may not surprise me. UPnP (kill it!) can defeat the best manual configurations if left on, it seems.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
I can't upload over wifi, why is this?
