Title: Cannot connect to any servers in Valve's Source-based games.
Post by: GEN3RIC on April 03, 2011, 09:10:24 PM
Hardware version: A1
Firmware version: 1.01

Basically, I cannot connect to any game servers when I am connected through this router. I used my Android to tether into 3G internet and was able to connect without any issues so it's not OS-side at all.  I've tried many settings arbitrarily one at a time, checking each time to no avail. Is there a particular setting that is screwing with this game? I've got the ports (27000-27100 TCP/UDP) forwarded and I've used a Port Checker tool to verify that they are open. Obviously it's something in the router that is blocking the connection..but what else is there to try?

Should I finally flash the 1.13NA firmware? I am very hesitant to do this, unless it's the last resort [and it feels like it might be], so I am awaiting your suggestions. Thank you very much.

Eric

First off,
What ISP service do you have? DSL or Cable?
What ISP modem do you have? Stand alone or does it have a built in router?
How are you connecting to the 825? Wired or wireless. Wired is preferred, specially for gaming.
Is QoS set up?
Is Firwall set up?
