Almost a year ago I moved to a new house. At my previous house, I had absolutely no troubles connecting to any online games. After moving to my new location with the same router as my previous house (Netgear WGR614 v6), and a new modem (Siemen's Speedstream 4200) via Windstream I was suddenly unable to connect to every single video game I tried. For whatever reason whenever I tried to log in to the router it told me the user name or password was incorrect so I couldn't even attempt to open any ports. I was frustrated but lived with it...
However now, after building a new system, I'd like to be able to play online games, namely World of Warcraft. When I set up this new computer, we moved the router/modem to another PC in the house to see if it made a difference. The only difference that it made was that I was finally able to log in to the router's settings.
I've tried opening all required ports on both the router and the modem, setting up a static IP address and I've configured firewalls accordingly to no avail. I'm hesitant to contact tech support at Windstream as in the past they have essentially been morons and only tried to sell me things that do nothing for my problem.
So I turn to you guys for help. I'm out of ideas...I've tried updating the firmware for both only to encounter errors or not have the option to do so. Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
