If you are looking for a router and you play Xbox Live this is the last one you want to choose. By doing a search you will see many people had the same problem as me that the nat is always set to strict or moderate and will kick you off xbox live and mess up games like Halo3.

Now there is lots of things you can try and I went through them all from documents on the web, to xbox live support, to D-link support(the worst support, not helpful at all.. they spent an hour trying to blame my internet service provider, xbox live, and me that i wasn’t doing what they asked.)

Moving on so first I setup all of the port forwarding rules, made no difference,
enable dmz that’s suppose to put my xbox on the outside of the router -no difference,
enabled UpnP no difference,
enabled gaming mode no difference,
final step upgrade the firmware no difference,
and repeat all of the steps 3 more times as they decided I was an idiot and didn’t put the information in right the first time.

I spent 2 hours on the phone with DLink changing settings restarting stuff and they could not make this thing work, and from what i’ve read online anyone else with this router has had the same problem.

So moving forward I will not be purchasing any D-Link Products after this wonderful experience I’ve just gone through, My conclusion is that this product isn’t worth the money, it worked great untill Xbox Live, it’s just an inconsistent product and I think there is better out there. I will be getting Rogers built in router with WiFi today and I have already spoken with their Tech’s and they said it should not be an issue.

So hopefully my problem will be resolved or hopefully at least Rogers will know thier own product enough to fix the problem, i’ll blog on that tomorrow to let you know if it worked.
