R6350 router keeps dropping traffic on specific games
It happens whenever I play games like Left 4 Dead and Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. The connection drops for a second, but relaunching the application fixes it. When playing Left 4 Dead, I can't join public games, else i'll get kicked out in around 5 minutes. I went into the logs of my router, and saw this;

How do I fix this? It's been happening for a while and I just want to play l4d, man :(
Maybe those games need an open nat to function. Not sure as I'm not a gamer.

1. What modem are you using? (model number)
2. What firmware is on your router?
3. How are you connect to the router? Wireless/wired. If its wireless, what wireless adapter are you using and what radio are you using (2.4ghz/5ghz)
4. Are any other games having this issue or just that specific ones?
5. any other devices having this issue?
1. R6350
2. Auto updates are on, so the latest one
3. Wired. I'm also connected wirelessly on my switch, with the same issue. (5ghz)
4. From what I can see, it's just left 4 dead and Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. Sometimes I get issues with Starcraft 2, but not consistently.
5. Just my Nintendo Switch and my Windows 10 PC.
