Hi I just set up a linksys WRT54GL. This is my first ever router. My dad has just told me that gaming is really slow, high pings. Anyway to fix this?
Also I just ran a shields up test and its reporting some ports to be open, and some closed, none stealth. This means I'm not protected properly, anyway to sort it?
Many thanks, Scythe
 
This is the text report for shields up too.

which seems fine to be honest, may have been a busy day on your line in your area with regard to the ping on the games
I'm on 1mb BB with 200 ping since adding this router, im sure its the router to be honest. I will post the Xfire ping servers thing. Do I have to forward every port that I use?
 
When using Port Forwarding, do I need a static ip?

Also, got it working. But I've ran out of spaces

Anyway to get more spaces to put ports in?

You've duplicated two of your rules and have a look here.
Where have I duplicated two rules?

Also If anyone can tell me where I can get another list of rules (blank) so i can add my rules in, I'd be grateful.
