I have just bought a sitecom router to connect my 2 desktop PC's to our ntl cable modem..... all seemed to be working well - both pc's can connect to the internet fine - until my partner and I started to play WoW. We were both able to log into our accounts but after 4 and a half minutes play we are disconnected from WoW. We sign in again and after 4 and a half minutes play we are dc'ed again.....this has continued and is getting mighty annoying!!!! The regularity of it seems a bit strange - I have looked on other forums for advice and no one seems to have a set time before disconnection - certainly not down to the very second!

I have checked the router configurations and the firewall is disabled, I did a port forward thingy according to WoW instructions to open designated ports and I assigned a static isp to each of the computers attached.

Prior to attaching the router both machines could play WoW without any problems at all so I presume it is the router that is causing our problem. Any idea what else we can try?
