Best Router for Live

Ryan-3 · 24 Jul 2010 at 20:34

As its more of a general Q, I thought i'd ask here. I need a good value router, which doesn't lose the line much, which is also good for live, and can't be like my home hub, which has an NAT that is STRICT!!

I though of THIS. reviews say its good, but elsewhere they say its not. Can anyone help?

Don't get a belkin.

Have you tried to sort out your NAT on your current router? What's your budget for a new router?

I'm finding newer Belkins to be pretty decent. the old ones were pretty poor, but some of the newer ones are proving to be better than the equivalent netgear.

About £40 max really, and yes:
PnP doesn't work by itself. That off and ports forwarded, doesn't work! Suppose WoW will do for now, no CoD though

That will stop you having 'STRICT' worked for me

I like BT's answer on their site though

Setting the games device's IP to always be the same should fix the NAT setting."

And you know what, that doesn't work

It seems I have fixed it! God knows how
