I'm having a problem with Steam that started a couple days ago for no apparent reason. Every time I try to play any game through Steam, I join a game and after about 20 seconds my router will reset itself, as if I have pressed its physical reset button. This is incredibly annoying because almost every game I own on Steam is for the purpose of multiplayer, so my entire Steam account is rendered useless by this.
My router is a BT HomeHub (I know) with the most recent firmware. The ports Steam requires to be open have been forwarded appropriately. I've been using this router in conjunction with Steam for close to 2 years with no issues and this router-reset thing only started happening, like, three days ago. Googling around shows that this is a known issue which has been occurring for a while (I've found threads detailing this issue from as far back as 2005, google search) and it has affected a wide range of routers. There does not appear to be a concrete solution. Because I did nothing to cause this problem to start, I am not sure where to begin to try and make it stop. Can anyone help?
