Solved Router Restarts when Playing 1 Game

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.

Hi thanks for you awnser, I have tried reset just to test same thing happend so then I restored my setting back to normal. When it "restarts" the power cuts out on the router for a secend the light goes orange then it takes like 2 mins to come back online.

Try a DNS flush . you may have something corrupted : http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/74209-dns-resolver-cache.html

Tried ipconfig /flushdns it was successfully flushed but same thing happened router restarted again

its funny I used to play this game all the time now it restarts my router its weird

You may need new router .

really the router is less then a year old ???

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.

UpNp is already on I know that cuz I have it on for my PS3

Not sure what else to suggest.. we have some gaming type people here, maybe one of them can provide more assistance.. Hope this gets sorted for you.
