Technicolor Wi-Fi Modem crashes

Hi

Whenever I try to refresh the server list in the server browser, my internet cuts out for a few minutes and only a few servers appear. I tried setting the minumum server pings to 250 pings/s, but the router still crashes. The router is a Technicolor TG784n v3 from my ISP.

Could be firewall issues with that router. To see if that is the problem, try turning off it's Security Firewall completely (as a test). You can always re-enable that later.

Also may help to launch Steam via TCP instead of it's default UDP.
To do that simply add -tcp to your Steam shortcut's properties, so that it's like this for example: C:\Steam\Steam.exe -tcp

You're experiencing this in just TF2?
I have the same problem occasionally, although I'm pretty sure that you still have internet during that period and it doesn't have to do with the router. My guess is that it has to do with the game itself, as I have noticed no problems with any other games.

Yes; could be issues with simply refreshing the server too quickly.

I find that games like Dayz and CS:GO do the same thing occasionally.

The router firewall is off by default. Do you know how to launch on TCP mode on OS X?
