Cannot connect to a specific Minecraft server using router/modem

1

I'm having trouble connecting to one specific Minecraft server through my home internet. I've tried to connect using 2 separate PC's (one using a wired connection and the other wireless) with no luck. However, I can connect to the server using a mobile hotspot, which confirms that I'm using the right Minecraft version (1.14.3) and IP address. I'm also able to connect to multiple other servers, it's just this particular one I'm having trouble with. No other players on the server have had any problems connecting.

All this leads me to believe that the problem lies with my router/modem configuration. I'm using a Sagemcom Gateway F@ST3864V2.

I don't have much knowledge when it comes to router settings, so any advice as to what may be causing this issue or which settings I should tinker with would be greatly appreciated!

Update #1:

Here's the log from when I try to connect to the server:

[19:49:01] [Client thread/INFO]: Connecting to <ip>, 25565

I can ping the server IP through a terminal without any problems:

A trace route is also successful:

Are you sure the problem isn't with your home internet provider in general? – user1686 – 2019-06-29T09:16:45.857

@grawity No, not really.. I suppose that could be the case too. What steps could I take to verify that? It is really strange that it's only this one server in particular though. – Heli – 2019-06-29T09:23:06.343

Couple of things... what's the specific error you get when you try? What happens if you ping it or traceroute it? – Tetsujin – 2019-06-29T09:28:13.317

1@Tetsujin I've updated the original post with additional information which covers those questions. – Heli – 2019-06-29T10:20:36.290

I managed to solve this issue by setting a static IP address for my PC.

Edit:

The steps involved were googling 'Setting a static IP address Windows 10' and then following this tutorial exactly.

Welcome to Super User, I think your answer should include some illustrations (scripts) for better understanding ! – Rajesh S – 2019-06-30T09:25:31.150
