Title: Multiplayer Mode Kills the router
Post by: NewGuy on December 05, 2009, 11:59:03 AM
I know it sounds odd, but it has happened 4 times in a row. Every time i click multiplayer, it tries to scan the network the wireless router disconnects me, stops broadcasting, and will not work again until i unplug it. The router is a d-Link. It works fine with my Linksys though. Any ideas on what is wrong would be helpful.
Thanks,
NewGuy.

Yes this sounds like a similar issue. My game does not freeze like theres does (maybe a newer version). The router in this case stops broadcasting the wireless signal and drops all clients. It must be a router issue like they mentioned. It probably cannot handle the responses. I guess i will not be buying a D-Link router. Thanks for the replies.
