Hello all,
Since upgrading my BT broadband account I received a new router called BT Home Hub. I added the port forward (27015) as always and played on CSS. However, ever since I have had problems.
If I got on the Steam Server browser and then attempt to open Firefox and visit a website I get "Firefox can't find the server". I can access the router website though. I have to restart my PC to regain access to internet websites.
Before receiving the router from BT I had a ping (when playing CSS) of around 20ms. Now it's 54. I've had to increase my ping limit on servers to 200 instead of 100, as all the servers pings now start at 56ms, instead of the old 12ms.
Sometimes the router will randomly freeze up.
I went to play a game of CSS last night while on Ventrilo and I played fine, moved servers and then every time I pressed a button there would be a delay and then I would continue to move in that direction or fire my weapon, as if I was holding the button down. I tried switching servers and still had the problem. My keyboard was working 100% fine. There wasn't any physically stuck buttons and I could type on MSN perfectly.
These problem only after I used the new router. Before the upgrade I had a netgear router and this were great. No problems, at all. Since the upgrade to ADSL2 (from ADSL) and the new router I've had these problems.
Any help or advise would be appreciated. I've attempted to call BT but they don't have a clue and usually read off an FAQ.
I did get a response a few months ago from someone at BT telling me about a method they use to prevent data loss and it increases the ping but after I replied with will it affect my connectivity if it gets turned off I never got another response. I think that's the only qualified tech on the whole support team but is impossible to track down to talk to for more assistance.
Thanks in advance.
