Can't play Worms: Armageddon online reliably

[Franpa]

Netcomm NB16WV-02 (Latest firmware)
Windows 8.1 x64

The game uses IRC for communicating with each other while waiting for an appropriate game lobby to become available and a game specific protocol for communications and game preparation in the game lobby. I am experiencing great difficulty connecting to this IRC service as well as to other players game lobbies. This started happening about 13+ days ago and has been getting worse as time goes by.

I have tried:
Power Cycling Router
Resetting computer (Warm and Cold boot)
Changing computer IP (and Router port forwarding rule)
Resetting the NIC
Verifying the Game Cache in Steam
Checking the security/permissions for the games folder as well as Steams folder
Ensuring the game has Read/Write access to it's folders (It's not installed to Program Files)
Getting angry and frustrated at/with the game
Reinstalling the game
Disabling Trend Micro Internet Security 2015
Verifying an exception exists for the game in the Windows Firewall

Here are a bunch (5) of Wireshark log files (I don't understand their contents, but Wireshark was correctly configured to record the problem):

Could you find out what needed to be changed?

It appears some scheduled upgrades have been performed on routing paths which seemingly has resolved the issue.
