Hello
So today i went to go download a Game (Wolfenstien Enemy Territory) it downloaded fine but then after i installed it and went to go play it and then i noticed no servers were coming up (its a online only game) then i noticed my router had restarted.

So i went to go try Counter Strike Source and it works fine.

The Router is a Dlink DIR-615 (rev E3) on FW 5.10 its not even a year old i Purchased it 8/14/11

Thanks Matt

Hello and welcome, did the power get interrupted momentarily and does everything seem fine now. You may have to power off . wait 5 min and let it reset itself. If you continue to have issues, you may want to hard reset it, using the reset button.

Look in Router interface.. go to system settings.. see if you have UPNP Enabling:
ADVANCED FEATURE! Allows you to turn the UPNP feature of the Router on or off. If you use applications that support UPnP, enabling UPnP will allow these applications to automatically configure the router.
