Apologies if this is in the wrong section..
Fellas, I have a real unusual issue.
At first I thought it was a wireless issue but after trying my housemate's ethernet cable last night, I have doubts.
The problem:
About 2 out of ten tries to connect to steam network will successfully connect.
Once I'm in a game (counterstrike), I cannot see any servers in the list to connect to..
but sometimes they pop up... then disappear.
When I'm plyaing Payday 2, I rarely get to enter a lobby... and if I do, half the time I lose connection.
Keep in mind, all websites work flawlessly, as do torrents etc.
Steps tried fixing:
* Port forwarding (router)
* Fire disabled (router)
* Router firmware upgraded to latest
* Power cycled NBN box, router & PC
* Port blocking in ISP account disabled
* All software is disabled ie. firewalls and antivirus inc. Windows firewall
* Upgraded to the latest wireless card drivers
* I've tried doing everything possible as mentioned on Steam forums, such as refreshing
things, deleting... reinstalling.. verifying files etc etc etc..
* My ethernet is disabled, only one network device is active (wireless)
Hardware using:
* iiNet Bob Lite router
* Atheros wireless adapter pci-e 150mbps (can't remember exact model)
I cannot seem to figure out where the issue lies.. and also, is it just steam? As websites work just fine.
