Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me. I recently switch from ADSL to Cable and received an NTL 250 cable modem. As my previous router was an integrated ADSL modem varient, I also got a new router, the Belkin F5D5231uk4 4 port wired Cable/DSL router.
This works fine for general browsing and email etc, but I have problems when playing various online games. When playing through the router I get lag spikes and disconnects. If I plug the modem directly into th ecomputer, its fine.
It was pointed out to me there have been problems with the Firewalls on some modems, DoS and PoS protection, identify valid traffic incorrectly, and blocking the data. I've tried turning off the routers Firewall, but no joy.
Anyone get any ideas? Or perhaps can recommend a router that works, via wire, when using the NTL 250 and games like World of Warcraft.

Thanks for your help.
