Wifi devices disconnect when a specific PC plays games

[Hunter1428]

Hey all,

 

Currently my Computer in my home office is connected directly in to a Asus RT-AC68U (Merlin). But as soon as I play any game on that computer all Wifi connections get disconnected and wont reconnect until I stop playing!

I have tested it multiple times and it is 5/5 repro.

 

I checked the logs of the router and it's showing a hell load of when I start playing any game:

Note: I *** out mac address.

 

I have no problems if:

• I download a file/game (40gb+)
• Watch Youtube
• Talk on Discord/Teams

I have problems when:

• Launch a game (Project Cars 2, FS2020, Xplane)
  • FS2020, Xplane only happens randomly during a flight.
  • Project Cars 2 is as soon as I press start to when I quit the game.

 

Anyone have any idea?

I have been struggling with this for months!

Have you tried the QoS settings? 

 

Are you using a VPN?

Are you using a VPN? 

• QoS: is on but as "Bandwidth Limiter" and I have not limited any devices.
• VPN: The router does act as a VPN. I have tested with it off and on and no matter what the same issues occurs.

There's also a setting called port trigger, what is it set to?

Enable Port Trigger is set to "No"

[Heliian]

Ok, if you enable it, there will be some options for controlling it, might be possible to add the programs that are giving you the problem.

Sure, I will give that a try!

Update:

 

Tried enabling the port trigger for Project cars 2 and it made no difference.

 

I just tried updating the firmware to the latest version and it said it was unsuccessful and ever since I did that it's now spamming the logs every second with wifi disconnects and reconnects. Currently I cannot get a single wifi device to stay connect, everything keeps dropping out as soon as it connects.....

Turns out one of the Nodes was causing the problem. I turned it off and it all seems back to normal now.

It turned out to be a UDP setting in project cars 2 causing too many packets being sent.

I decreased the amount it should send and all works without any issues!

 

Thanks for all the help!
