Timeout for first few attempts

[Pigkachu]

I'm from Singapore, I started having timeout issues with Steam games when i switched from cable to fibre connection. My ISP now is Starhub Fibreoptics on a D-link (DVG-N5402SP) router and running on win7. I will always timeout from game servers such as CS:GO, Natural Selection 2, Dota2.

For example on my 1st attempt to connect to a game, i will disconnect, then i will try again and on the 2nd attempt i will be able to enter the game but maybe for about 10 seconds before i have server timeout issues. Then i have to restart the game client and connect to a server again. On the 3rd attempt it may be successful but sometimes i will still timeout again. Thus i have to keep trying till it is stable.

Please help me fix this problem because it is very irritating. I have tried to replace to Linksys N router but it still happens. I suspect is the modem problem. please advise.

Hi, i am having exactly the same problem as you. I am guessing its the router's problem as i have no problem playing outside my home. Have you found a solution to this problem? Please reply if you do. Thanks. :) -Ming

I managed to fix this problem by using a LAN wire to connect to my router instead of wireless connection. I think the router sucks
