My problem

It doesn't need to be fixed as soon as possible but I want to know what is going on. I am currently using comcast and a netgear router (2-3 yrs old), if you want me to get the model # I will. Anyways it has 4 ethernet ports, 3 are in use (me, sister, other sister) and the problem is. Everytime I get on Counter Strike and start looking for servers on the internet. It works for a while being results pop up, but if I leave it on for too long..say 10 seconds? It will start lagging and will stop giving me server results. Is it because there were too many packets coming in? If so how do I fix that?

Re: My problem

Start by doing two things.
  1. Upgrade the firmware on the router to the latest available.
  2. Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.

These measures will fix a lot of issues like this.
