Your Fan boy side will loose against our Fan Manliness  

[LookIntoMyEyees]

Sure it will, but don't forget the main reason you guys are winning the console war.. With each RROD a new xbox customer re buys it.

[kargo27]

Uh oh, I didn't mean to start a console war!   

[kargo27]

I suppose all three xbox are working fine, even when they are all on at any given time? I still don't understand why people buy those x systems.....

Yes, they seem to be playing nicely.  But my son who is 5 and my daughter, 13, don't play multiplayer.  SO, I figured I'd just set gamefuel up for my XBOX and PS3.  Those are the 2 consoles I stream Netflix from as well.

[LookIntoMyEyees]

GameFuel rules should be set for those extreme gamers or those who are experiencing issues. After all this is a gaming router. Netflix doesn't seem to require such capacity and priority but that's just what it is, after all setting a gamefuel will just throttle anyone else who is not on the priority list.

Gamefule should be set at least when 2 or more gaming consoles are on line and if PCs are in the mix, they can be added too. I added my pc as I do some downloading while gaming and I don't see any issues while gaming.

[kargo27]

OK, well, when I'm gaming my wife is surfing the web and my daughter sometimes streams Netflix or surfs the web.

Does that necessitate me setting up Gamefuel?

[LookIntoMyEyees]

It won't matter much if your ISP provides you a great deal of bandwidth but if they don't and your your daughter is streaming netflix and your wife is surfing the net, they might get a delay Etc. I was just wanted to let you guys know that, I never meant to say your game fuel is wrong. Because it is not wrong. Gaming does not use a big deal of bandwidth it is just time sensitive information unless you are downloading Etc.

If your seeing some lag or degredation while gaming when your wife and child are online, then you might want to setup a rule for them.

[kargo27]

OK, cool, thanks guys.  I'll ask them next time if they're having issues.

We have 25 down/3 up but since we're all wireless we NEVER see those down speeds.  I see 20 Mbps regularly when early in the morning or really late at night. 

We do consistently get the up speed at 3Mbps, though.

[LookIntoMyEyees]

25/3 is pretty good, and is enough for everything that is being done at the house. (as you stated above)

I love how the Wii are the pacifists in the great war. Not that I am one of them or anything, I just find it funny.

Have you ever run any tests with the router bypassed? If your only see 3, even late at night, could be someone on the ISP side. And we might be able to help with that too.

Harry, the Wii SUCKS!  We have one of those, too.  No HDMI output, and nobody plays it, not even the kids.  LMAO!!!  You know who plays the Wii?  Old people in nursing homes.  Seriously, my father has Alzheimer's and I visited him the other day in his nursing home and the elderly were bowling using the Wii.  They call it "Wii-hab" (play on rehab), no kidding!

It's about on par with the Jitter Bug Senior phone is to the smart phones.  http://www.cordlessworkz.com/jitterbug-phone.aspx

You know, I've never run any tests with the router bypassed.  I'd like to try that, thanks man!

[LookIntoMyEyees]

Yea, you may say the wii are the "pacifists in the great war." but in the end of course they are, they sold 75 something million and yet there active user is what? 1 million? So yea they they the pacifists no one uses it. PlayStation  3 will surpass 360 eventually and than 360 will be left out just like the nintendo wii. I am not a 360 hater, it's just the system is not fair and microsoft is not fair. Sony its were its at.
