Re: Linksys Cisco (WRT120N)

Is it a gaming console or PC? And is it connected by an ethernet cable or through a wireless connection. 

 

All I would suggest for you to do is use QoS to give your gaming device the highest priority and use an ethernet connection. Also make sure your Nat type on the device says "open" or something with similar meaning.

Well, like I said, use a wired connection if possible when gaming. Also set up QoS to prioritize your computer's packets. 

 

You can also use a tool like SSIDer to choose the best wireless channel for your network, if you decide to game wirelessly. 

 

Another thing to keep in mind is the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

other than the above mentioned. Open the port for the game and make sure that the NAT is off and no other wireless interference.

Woa, NAT should be left ON. That's the main purpose of the router and what keeps him/her connected to the internet.

Re: Linksys Cisco (WRT120N)

When i am playing online, i have some disconnects while playing ( World of warcraft, Lineage etc.... )... ( But teamspeak keeps connected and other programs ). I already turned off the UpNP and changed the other configurations that u guys told me to.... Maybe the problem its my provider, i already sent them a email to my provider, but they dont give me any support at all....

 

Im thinking on changing provider.... :/

I have the same problem, when I playing Lord of the Rings Online, and about a hour playing I lost my connection, but my Team Speak and websites still works.

 

Already update the firmware, put static IP on my ethernet adapter and port fowarding, but the problem persists.

 

It´s not a "provider" problema, because when I come back to my old router d-link di-524, I never get this problem.

 

So it´s something on the default config on this router, or a manufacture problem.

 

I´m still trying other options, NAT, etc...

 

If I get sucessfull on fix that problem Ill post here.
