Has anyone ever heard of an issue with either network hardware (Virgin Meida Superhub or Asus RT-N56U Wireless Router) causing issues with logging into certain sites. At the moment im having issues logging into the GAME website, i have tried changing my password numerous times and each time its telling me the password is wrong when it clearly isnt. I have contacted GAME via WebChat and they have issued me a new password but as soon as i copied and pasted this into the login details and tried to login i was hit with the following message..

"Request-URI Too Large

The requested URL's Length exceeds the capacity limit for this server

IBM_HTTP_server at www.game.co.uk Port 443"

I i initially blamed server issues their end but they came but with that there wasnt any issues. I was then unable to even access the GAME website with each attempt i was greeted with the above error message the only way i was able to access the site again was completely wipe all the cache from my Chrome Browser (Password, History etc) once i did that i was able to access the site again but when i tried copying and pasting the supplied password again i was hit with the same error message and thus the process repeats itself. I have tired other browsers, my iPad and my Android Mobile phone all with the same result!

I was adamant it was a problem GAME's end but then i decided to try and access the GAME site via my mobile over 4G (no wireless internet) and low and behold i was able to login! So its not an issue with the GAME site its seems to be either my service provider (Virgin Media) or my hardware (Superhub or ASUS RT-N56U). Does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on here as im completely stumped!!??
 
Ok i think ive narrowed it down to the ASUS RT-56U wireless router (which has the Padavan CFW (https://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/). As i disconnected the Asus router and connected the superhub directly to my PC and then i was able to log into the GAME website fine. So what setting on the ASUS router is causing this?
