D-Link Wireless N Router (DIR-615) (product link) After much hassle and bouncing around with Xbox Live, Rogers, and Different Router Companies we finally found a router that works. We have two Xboxes one that hooks up via wireless network adapter and one that is hard lined to the router.
We went through all of the port forwarding and dmz and everything they will run you through but the problem was the routers we were using. We picked this one up from Future Shop (help desk recommended it) took it home after trying two that were over $200 i thought no way this $70 one was going to work, i was wrong. It took about 10 min to setup, i didn’t have to do any dmz, no port forwarding or anything and now both xboxes can play on live, halo 3, halo 3 odst, and nhl 10 without any problems or nat issues.
So if your having the same problem where one Xbox is losing it’s live connection give this router a try it worked great for us.
I think this is just the new fad and i hope it doesn’t take away from the quality of the games, i mean is NHL 10 going to be as cool when they have to spend an additional 6 months to make the character react to the user’s movement instead of a controller?? I guess only time will tell, I am very interested in this and will most likely be checking it out when it releases. I just hope i don’t have to build a new room on to my house in order to be able to use this system.
