Thomson 585v7 firmware issue

comp_ali · Mar 16, 2011, 08:28 PM

I have this router and it just restart itself on occasions but that's not much of a problem for me but what irritates me most that I mostly if not always get disconnected after joining any multiplayer match in L4D2.
I contacted Steam support and it suggested it is a firmware issue (outdated) I searched for new firmware and I managed to update the fw to v 7.4.2.7 after a loooooong mess. But the problem still there , I am quite pissed off. Is there any solution apart from buying another router.

After running through numerous fixes that don't work. I found the sol in this video and so far no disconnection problem. Here is the workaround

Quote:

I had these connection problems with my SpeedTouch ST585 router, but I managed to fix it by following these steps:

1. Connect to the router (Usually at 192.168.1.254).

2. Go to configuration.

3. Backup the configuration. You should now have a user.ini file containing your router configuration options.

4. Open it in Notepad. Go to Edit, Find and search for appconfig application=GAME(UDP)

You should see three entries regarding UDP. You need to change them to:

appconfig application=GAME(UDP) trace=enabled timeout=3
appconfig application=CONE(UDP) trace=enabled timeout=3
appconfig application=LOOSE(UDP) trace=enabled timeout=3

Now again, go to Edit, Find and this time search for timerconfig timer=udpidle

You should change this entry to:

timerconfig timer=udpidle value=3

5. Save that user.ini file to the desktop. Switch back to the Speedtouch router page and select Restore Configuration Now....

6. Use the router dialog to locate and select the user.ini file that you have modified. The router should upload the file.

7. Once configuration is uploaded, restart your router and all 'Connection Problem' or Server list crashes or Restarting of the SpeedTouch due to UDP flooding in CSS and other games should be FIXED.
