Thanks David. The routing is now working. The Gateway I’ve used is the router (ie ending in 1). Having spoken with others, they agree that ending the gateway with 2 (or another number) would work. Thanks again for your help. Your recommendation to switch the interface to LAN was the suggestion which fixed the 5108 error and got the routing to work. ... View more

That's right - the tracert is unchanged after adding a static route.   I traced to the same IP you have used - 13.75.49.198 - and got: traceroute to 13.75.49.198 (13.75.49.198), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets  1  192-168-1-1 (192.168.1.1)  3.831 ms  5.677 ms  4.777 ms  2  192-168-1-1 (192.168.1.1)  3047.694 ms !H  3065.180 ms !H  3072.441 ms !H   Then added the static route using these details: Select WAN Interface: pppoe_ptm_2_0_d (must select a WAN interface, and this appears to be the default) Network destination: 13.75.49.198 Subnet: 255.255.255.255 (I also tried ending in 0) Gateway: 192.168.1.2 (I also tried ending in 1) Interface: LAN   Tracert result after the route was added:  traceroute to 13.75.49.198 (13.75.49.198), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets  1  192-168-1-1 (192.168.1.1)  5.046 ms  2.051 ms  3.577 ms  2  192-168-1-1 (192.168.1.1)  3098.862 ms !H  3086.989 ms !H  3008.787 ms !H   So it appears the route isn't working.   Cheers ...

Thanks David. I did the tracert to a couple of the servers and they succeeded.  If I end up getting this working, I'll post the fix here. Cheers again for your help. ... View more

Hi David   Thanks very much for your reply, the help is much appreciated.  Unfortunately you can't specify which server/region you want to use on certain games - the game selects the server, which often leads to the US West servers with 200+ ping. I have read the manual for the VR1600 for static routing here: https://static.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/Archer_VR600v(DE)_V1_UG.pdf   Static routing seems like a straightforward process in the manual (and it probably is for someone with more technical acumen than I...).  I have tried following the manual, but get the 5108 error code, seemingly when trying to use my router's IP address of 192.168.1.1 (as recommended in that reddit article).    I have also tried using your recommended settings. When I do this, the error does not appear.  However, I don't think the static routing is in effect with those settings as I am still getting put onto servers with 200+ ping.    Can I ask: - the manual refers to a second router ("Router 2"), but this may be for the example it uses only. I assume there is no need for a second router?  (My current set up is just the VR1600 connected to the wall, and I'm accessing the internet via wifi) - you recommended selecting the "LAN" interface.  The tp-link router settings page notes when selecting the interface: "Select LAN or a WAN interface in the Interface field to specify the type of the Network Destination."  The network destination (ie servers I am trying to block) are not on my local network, so should this be a WAN interface instead?  (Of course, when I try a WAN interface, I get the error 5108 when trying to use my router's IP address of 192.168.1.1.)   Thanks again.
