Hosting a Session Advice

[Sk8ergrl]

Can you guys tell me what routers you use to host phoenix session please? I have a Netgear DG384GT but it keeps dropping the connection every 5 mins. I also have a speedtouch st585v6 but that will not allow me to host any sessions. So I need to know what's best wireless router ADSL so I can host and not be disconnected every 5 mins (Thanks Netgear grrrr).

P.S. I use wifi so that's a must and WPA or WPA2

Have you tried freeing up the ports that phoenix uses.

I dont think this is always a problem with your PC or Router but a problem with the phoenix software, I think everybody has had this problem.

I did open the ports 9000 - 9005 UDP on both the netgear and speedtouch only netgear I could host but the router keeps disconnecting due to signal noise and the speedtouch st585v6 does not even allow me to host even thought I have opened the ports something to do with the harware firewall but even that is disabled. I need to buy a new router anyway just I'd like one that allows you to host phoenix and also does not drop connection due to signal noise.

Jayme,

The honest truth is that it's a lottery. I have 4 different routers here and none work for hosting

Hi im using a lynksys wtg 54g fully open port gaming router i rekon i must have hosted 100+ sessions since crimbo and not been kicked that often
But as phil says it is very much the luck of the draw its i believe down to phoenix server being pants to say the least
Hope this helps Jim

It works every time with my D-Link 655 but my laptop is quite slow so it struggles a bit.
