If you can return it to the point of sale for a refund then I'd box it up and run it back right now. After you get a refund then purchase a netgear wndr3700 and enjoy a problem free gaming experience at home. I'm sure this will earn me more negative karma but oh well. The truth hurts sometimes just like my experience with the 1.2x fw hurt my networking here at home.

If you willing to wait you are ok if not better to get a replacement kinda why I'm using the DGL 4300 right now as my 4500 is boxed up.

Most likely fix the lock up problem that people are having. I'm sure it will fix other things as well but we just have to wait and see.

If you're using the 360 wireless adapter, you can expect lag on Halo regardless of your ISP or router.

Post by: bob_channel on October 21, 2009, 02:18:27 PM: i would turn the firewall off on the modem and try playing again if u dont lag u need to unblock the protocols on the modem still if that dont fix it unblock the same protocols on the router to thats what i did the only time i lag is when cox screws with things but try that if u need the protocols just look for it on the xbox.com site they should have them listed if u cant find them i will get them off of mine for you

Post by: WEAZ1 on October 30, 2009, 02:25:44 PM: Just log into your 4500 & set the DMZ for the XBOX network, & make sure the xbox IP is correct. I use this router 4 all my gaming & as a network Admin & computer company owner i can tell U this is a great router. One of the best home class routers on the market. Cant beat D-Link, just take some time to learn about the routers options and basic networking.

Post by: FurryNutz on November 01, 2009, 11:54:01 AM: I haven't seen any problems with XBL, HALO3 or ODST since B3 FW was applied on the 19th. My 360 is not in the DMZ, however Gaming and Game fuel options are enabled and all IP addresses are static. No lag time accept the crappy ones coming from other players or the Bungie servers which seem to be noticed here and there. Been up since the 19th.

The 4500 cannot maintain a stable connection over wired or wireless, until this is fix halo 3 will always lag using this router.

I run my xbox 360 wired, and i get no lag. The only time i lag is when my P2P has pegged my upload bandwidth.
