Greetings,

Can't figure out this problem. Note: Solution may also help this issue, not sure
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=10132.0

I have DIR-615, connected via ethernet. I enabled port forwarding for Quake 3, using the range of 27660-27980 to account for custom server ports. Set schedule to "always" although also did "never" but it didn't make a difference. I checked the FAQs for frequent resets vis a vis application outbound requests, which recommended disable uPnP and this had no effect.

Symptom: when Quake 3 attempts to connect to the Master Server, the router resets all connections, LAN and WLAN. It takes approximately 30 seconds to regain connection to WAN, although LAN does not drop. Also during this time, the world sigil on the router itself turns orange. This is the only time this happens, when trying to play Quake 3.

Previous router to this one was Linksys (by Cisco) BEFSR41, in which simply setting up port forwarding for the client IP address allowed connection. I can find no particular reason why the router resets all interfaces when blocking a port, if it is indeed the firewall triggering this.

Other infos:
Model: Wireless N 615, DHCP enabled on both sides
LAN connect: Category5 to 10/100 NIC onboard to Intel 865GBF
Client firewall: none
Client OS: Windows XP Professional SP3

Please advise.

OK I've tried everything I could. I find it funny that my DirecTV HD-DVR can download movies through this router, but trying to play a game from a PC makes it reset.

There are two options left.

1. Someone tell me if I can use this thing as a Bridge/AP and put my Linksys back in place.
or
2. I buy a different product.

So still no answer about this?

Sorry I noticed different infos. Connected ethernet to gigabit NIC, also DHCP disabled on both sides. Client OS is Windows 7 Pro x86 also.

Same problem with Wolf ET.....looking for an answer.

Same problem, as in your router reboots WAN and WLAN when you establish connection to game server?

What is your router's revision (H/W Ver.) - should write on the bottom sticker - and what is your firmware version? Access the Web interface and it should say in upper right corner.

What is your ISP service? DSL or Cable?
What is your ISP Modem? Make and Model?
Is the ISP modem a stand alone modem or does it have a built in router by chance?

Can you set up the router with out any portforwarding for this game to see if it works or not?
Does this happen with any other applications?

Also, uPnP should be tested disabled if using PF.

FYI,

I fixed this problem on my router by using DD-WRT firmware. Unfortunately, I have new router now (Linksys by Cisco) and it has the same problem. So sorry if I blamed D-Link for the issue. I have not installed custom firmware on my Linksys router yet so I still can't play. Sad to see this thread as the #1 google result in looking up this issue...
