I can't play online games on my android phone over wifi, why?

[Android Central Question]

I can watch youtube videos, browse other apps and browsers everything without any problem. My wifi connection is also very strong. But when it comes to games, it shows connection error, you are not connected to internet. Why? If i will use mobile data, then it works properly, i mean games and other stuff, works without any problem. But wifi...?

You might need to identify what ports these games use and configure Port Forwarding on your router. Either that or your ISP is blocking traffic that use those ports.

Welcome to Android Central! Does this happen on any wi-fi network, or only a certain one?
