immy Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hey guys I need some recommendations on a wired router that I can use for xbox live. My current one keeps on signing me out so i'm going to have to replace it I want one that will work out of the box and I won't have to mess with opening ports. As well I will need the router to run the internet on my windows vista and ME computers thanks for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I have a Netgear WGT624 v3, yes I did have to open 2 ports to get my NAT open. However its worth it, plus following a guide over here its quick and easy. You just gotta now the ip address etc. It's got wireless aswell if you want to use that. It should be cheap now, I got it for £60, a couple days later it went down another £10 to £50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really bad with computers. What I really want is a router that I can just plug in and will work. thanks for the help though Stefkov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might not help but if someone has a router in that list then it might help. With my router, that website helped. I got my NAT to open, which was the annoying thing, and then I could join in Crackdown with Caris, previously it wouldnt let me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I have been using several Netgear routers over the course of the past year, moving from different houses and connections etc. Never had a problem, Tier-One on ebay sell a very good router for just £15 it lasted me 36 Months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmellow Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I personally like D-Link routers... I have DGL-4300 that says it boosts gaming and stuff, and I've had no problems with it. Didn't have to open ports or anything. Works really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 You know, its easier to just buy an Ethernet card, shuve it in your PC and use Windows ICS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
