So I'll go off by stating some information about my setup:
Ethernet connnection
Linksys EA 6500 with Linksys Smart WiFi (up to date)
So I've configured a CS:GO server, and after finding that nobody could join, I decided to double check that the ports had a rule and test the trafic through them. All of the rules were there, but after testing the ports I found that they could not see traffic. I spent all of yesterday messing with my router, changing every feature that might change it, and ended up keeping the original settings after finding that didn't work. I decided to factory reset the router. Now I'm stuck here: as soon as I set a static IP in windows, I can't connect to the router or the internet. I have no clue what's going on, and knowing my luck, after I get that issue fixed, the ports still won't be working anymore. I've had the port issue in the past, ended up fixing it, and can't figure out what I did to fix it. I could use some help. Thanks.
