  2. Run System Settings > Internet > Test Connection and check the NAT type. NAT type A or B is usually fine for most games. C, D or F can cause exactly this. good luck man!

  6. yeahhh in the connection settings for ur network, u can try changing the MTU value to 1500 in Change Settings > MTU. It fixes some connection issues with certain routers.
