Bug Report Router problems while Broadcasting

[Viper2k1]

Hi there,

first of all I wan't to tell you that i really like what you do here with OBS. Keep up the good work.

Now to my problem. Everytime I broadcast my router is crashing . Mostly after some minutes and sometimes I can broadcast for like 1-2 hours before it crashes but sooner or later it crashes. LEDs are still burning but I don't get any Internetsignal anymore. So i have to remove the Powersupply of it to reboot it because the router is not even rebootable by the Browser. It only happens while I use OBS. I haven't made a longtime testing period with Xsplit (because my PC is too low to have any fun while using Xsplit with Diablo 3) but the times is tried it my router haven't crashed (3-4 times with like 20-40 minuntes each). But some time ago I had a korean SC2 Progamer in my Flat and he broadcasted SC2 allday long with Xsplit for weeks without any Router crashs.

I have a german Telekom Speedport W723V (Type A with the newest Firmware update). It is already a changed one because I thought its Router failure but now it has the same problems like the old one.
Obviously the crashes only occure when I broadcast with OBS.

Maybe somebody know whats wrong and what I can change in OBS/Windows or Portwise.

At last my PC speccs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955
GPU: ATi Radeon HD 6870 1GB DDR5
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 TeamGroup Elite
Sound: Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatl1ty Pro
MB: ASUS M4A8TD USB3
HDD: WD Blue 640GB

I would really love it when I could broadcast without any problems. Please help me :(

Regards

Just to verify, have you tried directly connecting to your modem and bypassing the router? A single TCP connection should not crash your router. If problems persist I would suggest trying a different model router, there isn't really anything that can be done on our end if your router is unable to handle a TCP connection.

It is a VDSL2 Modem and Router in one.
But it must be something with OBS causing the crashes as it goes well with Xsplit (but it needs too much ressources for my PC) and I never had a crash while using the PC the normal way :/

A router's job is to move packets around, it should not care what is in those packets. If somehow the contents of a packet can consistently cause a router to crash then that router is fundamentally broken and likely vulnerable to various kinds of denial of service attacks. Thousands of other users have no problems with their routers, so it is very likely a problem with your router and not OBS. I would suggest trying a different model if you are able to return it.

In my eyes it has to be something with OBS as it only appears when I use OBS :(
