Furrynuts i have play station 3 how can i enable gaming fuel for it? Reason for me asking this is that when my brother turns on his Xbox 360 my ps3 losses all its speed to the  Xbox 360 its like gaming fuel gives him all the bandwidth and me nothing. I have tried disabling gaming fuel but then everyone lags and no one will have a steady connection not even my pc viewing you tube weird ts like gaming fuel makes everything 10x better btw i am on f.w 1.02. Thats a screen from it now it has more days but though you might enjoy seeing it! xD

How are you connected to the 4500? Wired or Wireless? You can should be able to set up the router and gamefuel settings listed in the Game and Gamefuel sticky at the top of this forum page. See if you can get your PS3 up as 1st priority and the xbox down the line, say 50 or 100. Even try 250 is the max I think. Highest priority is 1 and lowest is 250. Review those settings and see how it goes.

Everything on my network is on wired expect my laptops.

The Gaming rules seems to work for all the games i've played using XBL. I play All Halo series, MW2 and Left4Dead. I have asked for more information for other non xbox console experiences since I don't own one. There was one other on here that mentioned that those settings worked for him on is PS console. I stream Netflix movies all the time with these settings.

The update FW feature on the 4500 seeks out what has been posted on the dlink web site and if they have enabled that feature from there side to be posted through there network to the 4500. They may not have it enabled. Most of us on here just downloaded the FW as a file and applied it manually. When using FW updates or making any changes to the router, make sure your logging in as ADMIN, not user.

I would run your unit as is and see how it work before updating. Nothing says you can't however as a rule, if it works, don't fix it. What version of FW is currently loaded?
If you chose to update FW, save off your configuration file before updating, that saves you from having to manually going back and reconfiguring the 4500 again. And when doing a FW update, the current configuration gets wiped out after you perform the update and then do a factory reset to ensure a clear clean slate to work with. After the reset, upload the config file and your off and running.

Always save ur config file. LOL

While using this router and game rules, it's not perfect and it won't be, it's as good as it can be, given the fact that other networks, traffic, and user interventions will show that any networking will introduce some lag. The only thing that I've noticed, and any one can do, if there adept enough with there networks and system is to make there systems as good and clean as they can get it. I've seen lag and other goofy things going on while gaming, doesn't mean I'm at fault, however doesn't meant there are other things to consider down the lines.

I've been using my 4500 for about 5 years now and enjoy it greatly for gaming and general internet usage. Ya, there have been some FW builds that aren't the best, however DLink and others on here have strived to help each other out and weed out the bugs and make the next FW builds better.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any more help.

... Just wanted to thank you for your very helpful sticky and all your contribution regarding console gaming. Thanks.
