Problem with hosting or joining fps game rooms

Hi, I've been having this problem for a while and since I just joined this forum I decided to post it here incase anyone can help me with it or at least tell me what is wrong.

So, for games like Warcraft III it won't let me host games and for FPS games I get disconnected randomly like 5 minutes or longer into the game and it tells me to open up my UDP ports (even though I have in my router settings)

Long story short, I've tried everything from removing all the firewalls, putting my computer in the DMZ in my router settings, port forwarding, application rules and nothing works.. and I don't feel like going out and buying a new router and end up having the same problem or something like that.

The router I am currently using is a D-link WBR 300 something.. can't make sure because I misplaced the box I think, I'll look for it later if necessary.
