Dirk_D 0 Posted September 7, 2014 Why do some routers lag so bad while forwarding ports? Multiple tries, different browsers, cycling the power on the routers...... any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssnapier 0 Posted September 7, 2014 This is not something I have experienced, do you mean at the time you set them up? I would think maybe this type of thing would be a symptom of firmware with a memory leak, but perhaps I am not clear on what you mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirk_D 0 Posted September 7, 2014 it just took forever to recognize commands...... enter the info, hit submit, comes back up filled out the same but missing the start & end ports but the type & ip info was still there. Then try to go back to see the ports that are there and click wait/wait/wait/wait/wait/etc/timeout. Just slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don Stephens 0 Posted September 8, 2014 I'm also tempted to assume that it's a very cheap/basic router. I'd be curious to know what the make and model it is though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Numb-nuts 1 Posted September 10, 2014 You can buy a Netgear router for very little money, I would say if there is a chance it might solve your problem, it's definitely worth a go wouldn't you say? I like Netgear routers, they are easy to work with, they are well featured and they port forward very easily which is 99% of what I need to do with routers.
