Alex if you can? Take the router right out of the loop for a bit of time.

Before going thru the work of making a static IP and port forwarding only to find out it cures nothing.

I just today took my router out of the loop. Cycled my modem.Boot up, launch LW and results are exactly the same.

What this told me was the poor performance or connection problems had zero to do with my router.

Hope this helps?
