Router Problems?

Question

Ok, when I plug the cable from my computer to the router world of warcraft doesn't work correctly on certain servers, but when I plug the cable into the modem it does. Does anyone know any fixes for this? I have a Wireless-G Broadband Router from Linksys. I can't just use the modem because we have 2 computers and use both for a lot of the day.

Answer 1

Sometimes this can be fixed by switching the router mode to PPPoE using its setup firmware from IE.  Enter the IP of the unit (192.168.x*x.x*x) into IE and check your router settings.

Answer 2

You probably need to make sure Upnp is enabled on the router. This is universal plug and play and enables games to open incoming ports to your machine.

Checkout the linksys web site for instructions on how to do this. (it's just a simple check box on the set up page of the web admin console).
