Hi there.

Friend of mine who I play a lot of online games with, has a ton of disconnection problems no matter which game we play. When his brother plays with us (they are on the same network), they both get disconnected at the same time. So I'm thinking it's not related to either of their computers.

They bought a new router when the problems started happening, but that didn't solve the problem.
Tried different brand new cables from the modem to the router, nothing.
Tried hooking one of the PC's directly into the ISP modem, and he didn't get any DC's during that time.

Suggested calling their ISP, but not really sure that's going to solve the problem if they get no DC's when connected directly to the modem.

This is the system information log from his router, every time he gets disconnected:
Wed Dec 4 18:24:26 2013 Web login success from 192.168.0.100
Wed Dec 4 18:20:30 2013 Time synchronized
Wed Dec 4 18:20:24 2013 DHCP: Client receive ACK from 82.143.214.1, IP=82.143.214.196, Lease time=900.
Wed Dec 4 18:20:21 2013 DHCP: Client send REQUEST, Request IP 82.143.214.196 from 82.143.214.1.
Wed Dec 4 18:20:21 2013 DHCP: Client receive OFFER from 82.143.214.1.
Wed Dec 4 18:20:21 2013 DHCP: Client send DISCOVER.
Wed Dec 4 18:05:30 2013 Time synchronized

Any ideas? I'm usually pretty good at fixing stuff, combined with Google giving good answers. But haven't been able to fix this so far. Being in a different country doesn't really give me the opportunity to go help myself, but any help would be appreciated.

The router is a D-Link DIR-645.

Thank you kindly.

They previously had a D-Link, and when they started having problems their bought another D-Link. Same problem though, so you might be on to something.
I'll convey the message at least, see if they have the possibility to try out another. The current D-Link is literally brand new however.

Though it's still so new that it might still be able to be traded in for a different product.

If they live nearby, lend them your router for a spell and see what happens. Or any router you know is working.

Unfortunately I live about 2500 km away from them currently.

Got any port forwards configured?

Also have you tried different DHCP/DNS settings? I think something could be up with the DNS/DHCP of the D-Link.

Are you also running the most current firmware?
