Hey!

I'm going to buy a new router, because starcraft doesnt work with the one I got now, a zyxel. I've had this problem for quite a while now and got really tired of it, and I've tried everything to make it work. I can't create games or play in a game with more than 2 players.
So I'm buying a new router.

I was thinking of Netgear DG834 and I'm wondering if anyone here got one of those and can tell me if it works fine with starcraft or not.

I have the Netgear DG834GT and using the advice from PortForward.com I was easily able to host games etc.
Good luck~

If you decide that you like a router, any router, I suggest you google "[routername] problems" before actually buying it to see what ppl are complaining about and if said problems are solvable and if you are able to live with them if they aren't. That being said, I was considering buying that very router you mentioned in OP before my ISP sent me new hardware, it looked good to me at the time.

You could try the guide I made :

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86801

It worked for me, and for some other people as well.

Using the DG834G since 2-3 years ago, and been online 24/7 ever since.
Can host games, etc. Works flawlessly.
Just forward ports for sc.

Download the manual for your router (google for the manual or google "default username for [router]" or something like that) and the default username/password should be in there. Usually it is something like user//user or admin//admin for mine the admin account was admin//qwerty.

I use a netgear and with port forwarding worked great for me. I also used an older version about 5 years ago and never had issues with it either. Hope this helps man.

Agreed. Netgear is terrible. Go with Linksys or D-link or something.

Belkin wireless usually works fine, and if you have problems with them blocking or lag you can often solve it by port forwarding or by DMZ.

edit: wrong name lol, I've used too many routers.

I was actually looking at routers last month and this particular Netgear router even offers a fix for StarCraft LAN play on bnet:

NETGEAR WNDR3300

Firmware 1.0.23
"Fixed - Two LAN PCs can't play online game Starcraft."

This is not to be confused with the WPN824 which only has a fix on the Korean firmware.
