My brother uses the same router and the only problem we had was to ensure all systems had the key and that the firewall (router and PC) was either off or had the system IPS registered to allow the systems to connect.

"Port Forwarding" is nontrivial. There are a few things you need to know to get it right, but once you understand it you will be able to host H2H with that router.

I've summarized the principles here:
