So i read the sticky (nice guide btw) And i just wanted to post to make sure i understand everything correct.

To get our 2 xboxs to properly link up with xbox live on open NATs i basically need to set a static ip for each xbox  and put those IPS in the QOS?

I had a Lynksys BERS41 (sp?) and tried all the port forwarding and UPnP etc and could not get our Xboxs to work when playing COD. I figured it was time for an upgrade and just bought the 4500.

My setup is
Cox internet
Motorola router (not sure what type im at work)
to
4500 (going to be)
to
Pc, Xbox1, Xbox2 (all hard wired)

Yes, use the Gamefuel rules for adding the information for the 2 xboxes. It works well..Let us know if you have questions or need help

[Doubles]

Well after only only 20 mins of tinkering with it and following the guide we were back online playing COD and kicking some faces in. Gotta say i was a little worried after reading reviews about this router but everything is working so far "knock on wood"

Thanks for the help!

[FurryNutz]

Good to hear that your online. See in Black OPS? Have to ready everything you see with a grain of salt too.

1. Well look who is Level 8. Whooo hoo.

2. Yea, I don't get that either. I have to think a good portion of it it human error. Not to say the people making the error didn't know what they were doing, its just that they provided more capability then documentation, so there was alot of trial and error bound to take place.

[FurryNutz]

Wow, didn't even notice until you said something. Kewl beans. 

[Doubles]

Well I spoke a little too soon.

When i tried to get on the next day it wouldn't pick up my xbox. But my buddy was online playing. After i restart the router and modem it works. But then the next day i have to restart again.

Any ideas?

[FurryNutz]

What firmware version is currently loaded? Your only using the Gamefuel rule and not the Gaming rule right? I presume your on a wired connection to the Xbox?

[Trikein]

Yea, there was someone else who had a simular problem on these forums. It was with 2 xboxes though. He would have to power cycle or run the Xbox network test . Do you remeber the case I am talking about Furry?

[FurryNutz]

Kinda, Maybe, Sorta...Hmmm...I think so...trying to find that post...oy vay. Will have to do some searching.  

This one? http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=14226.0

Reading it reminds me...Have you added the Primary and 2ndary DNS IP addresses from the Status/DeviceInfo/Wan section to the Basic/Internal/manual/DHCP Internet Connect Type section? Sometimes this is not automatically filled it by the router and needs to be added.

[Doubles]

I just checked and they are added in there like you said. Not sure where else to go from here. Thank you for your help so far! It's probably one stupid little thing i've missed that's causing the issue.

Should my internet be set to dynamic IP or static? It's currently on Dynamic.

[FurryNutz]

Should be Dynamic unless your ISP has you on a Static WAN IP address and in that case I wouldn't think so unless ur paying for a static IP.

Whats the firmware currently loaded on the 4500 router?
Is everything all hard wired to the back of the 4500 LAN ports or do you have a switch in the mix?

I would run thru all the gamefuel settings again and make sure you haven't typed an incorrect number or something. Lets have you check the protocol ports for both and set them both to: 3074 / 3074. Make sure everything else is correct in gamefuel.

Is Dynamic Defragmentation enabled or disabled? I should be disabled.
Is DNS Relay enabled or disabled? It should be enabled.

Might have you send me your config file from the 4500 so I can take a look at it...Let me know about the questions i've asked.

[Doubles]

I believe it's 1.21NA. (im currently at work)

I'll double check the gamefuel settings when i get home tonight.

Dynamic Defrag is off
DNS relay is enabled

I can send you the config file later tonight.
How do you update the firmware on a router?

My setup is
Cox internet
Motorola router (I think it's a SB510)
to
4500
to
Pc, Xbox1, Xbox2 (all hard wired)

[FurryNutz]

Ok, This could be the issue. v1.21 was known for disconnects and hangs on the router. When you get home verify this version for me then save off your current configuration to file. Lets verify your version first before updating. If this is the case then I'll help you walk you thru an update. There are preferred steps for updating.

Let us know.
