Xbox 360 compatible routers

[Lee]

Right I've had enough of my router, no matter what I try I can't get Xbox live to see my NAT status as anything other than Strict, which means I can't race against people online in PGR 3 in anything other than online career.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be cool, obviously I'm forwarding the relevent ports to my Xbox.

Does anyone have any ADSL router suggestions that work with Xbox live?

MS suggest these on the UK site: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/support/xbox/connect/faq/routers.htm

And these on the US: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/home/xbox360/connecttolive-networkingequipment.htm

Thanks,

Lee

i just use a dlink DSL-604t which is now the DSL-G604t, works fine for me and I have the 360 wireless game adapter plugged in via usb.

I downloaded the Fight Night 3 demo tonight 486mb and it only took less than an hour on a 2 meg line, I was well impressed!

Game demo is cool too

I was just looking at that one: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=573

And also this one: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=576

Suppose I'd better order one. I'd probably go wireless if I could get a wifi adaptor for the dam console!!

I downloaded fight night 3 last week too. Very impressive. We've being playing it at work on the Hi Def plasma too.

Just got myself a Billion 7402VGP (http://www.billion.com/product/voip/bipac7402vgp.htm) which is probably the best router on the market but at £125 it's maybe a bit excessive for just an Xbox.

My Wireless router was £26, hehe and works with Xbox, I thought you played with me and Cocopops one time Lee, that wasn't online career?

Anyway my router was from Scam, sorry Scan in Bolton, I have my Xbox wired to to the Wireless, and the PC has the Wireless card in it. Fook paying 60quid for the wireless jobbie.

Link for router I got mine on Today only for 26 beans, seems they are £35 now

Yeah Flambe, I did race with you guys. That's the odd thing, I've read posts in a few places how one minute it's fine then the next it's not. When I raced you guys I was showing NAT Moderate, now it's strict and I can't do anything about it. I'd not changed any of my router setup.

I read this last night, which someone posted on ClioTrophy: http://www.rasmithuk.org.uk/blog/?page_id=81<br>

Which kinda helps explain it a little.

I've got this on it's way for now: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=1061

Should work. If not I'll just dump the Xbox in the DMZ.

I think I need to upgrade after this weeks fun with my torrents eh Griff.

 

[Griff]

[TheCake]

[Griff]

Slow today mate... You normally msn me within seconds, not 30 minutes later.

You're probably "posing" on that webcam again aren't you?

 

[Lee]

Sod it, I found somewhere selling the wireless adaptor for the 360 so I've ordered one of those and this: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=2266

At least I can get rid of the cable running across my landing now.

Lee!! I just sold a Netgear DG834GT on here last week doh!

Arrrrgggg. Typical.

Ho much was the wireless adaptor Lee?

I read in PCWBD catalogue, the Belkin USB adaptor was xbox compatible, I can't see how that works really without drivers? Must be a mis-print

I paid through the nose once again as no where has them, so I ordered mine from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8251619478

You can use other wireless bridges, but I wanted one powered by the Xbox and attached to it, rather than sat on my shelf along with all my other junk.

 

[RSi Dave]

we are using some belkin jobbie, and a switch running two 360's over a 10meg bb connection.

seems to work fine, decent ping rates and other people can still download s**t fast

 

[MarkCup]

I've been running a Netgear 824 for the last 24 months - has worked fine for both old and new Xboxes.

 

[Rasclart]

Netgear DG834G

Works perfect mate

 

[Lee]

And it now works perfectly for me too.

A child could set up these modern routers.

Although I can't get my DS to connect to it. I'll look into that later though.

[Rasclart]

Which router did you go for Leemondo?

 

[Lee]

I've just had a quick blast on PGR. Add me if you like: Rod Street

DG834G mate. All sorted now. And I didn't have to f**k around with opening ports and NAT for Azurues or Xbox live.

 

[Rasclart]

Good Lad

Glad to hear you have it all sorted!

 

[Lee]

I'll be able to spank you on PGR 3 now mate.

Just updated the firmware and my DS now works.
