Hi Guys,

I have spent the last few hours trying to achieve a open NAT connection on both my Xbox 360's using a DSL-604t Gen2, I finally got fed up and called D-link tech support. they told me that my goal is not achievable on a DSL-604t Gen2.

So I have done a little bit of research and THINK that the DIR-825 is capable of this? can anyone confirm this for me?

Could you also please tell me what this function is called and what other devices will be capable of doing this.

Thanks heaps,

What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
If the DSL modem has a built in router, you need to get the modem into a bridge mode, thus effectively shutting off the router portion of the modem. Then connect the 825 and go take a look a the DGL-4500 forum for the XBL sticky and set up the 825 accordingly. IT works. Let us know if you need more help.

I only have one modem/router in my house, It's a DSL-604t Gen2, its a combined modem/router.

Thanks heaps for your reply FurryNutz, that guide is great and I will definitely be using it once i get a new router.

Do you recommend the DIR-825 or is there a better model for gaming performance?

Thanks mate!

I currently use the 825 for gaming. Past experience I prefer the DGL-4500. Greatest router for gaming man.

Just be sure you can bridge your current modem if you can. Having 2 routers on line will cause gaming and connections issues.

What is your connection speeds UP and Down that you pay for?

Let us know how it goes.

I currently have 2 xbox 360's, 2 androids, ROCKU streaming video, 3 computers, VOIP(ATT Microcells X2) and outgoing/incoming streaming video. The only problem I had was my internet provider speed was not enough, upgraded to TWC 2x15 and the lagging and disconnects went away. There is a "we" somewhere in there too, but I think it was too healthy for them.....

No special configuration needed, the 2 boys were playing each other in teams on some shoot em up and kill them war game on both of the 360's, one was wired the other was through WiFi, lot of screaming and yelling going on, but no complaints.

I like the DIR-655 too, it worked well in the above configuration, but I wanted the 5Ghz WiFi, so I sent the DIR-655 back and got the DIR-825, plus back then the 825 was the only one IPV 6 ready, I think the 655 is now IPV6 ready too. Also the new B revision 655 had just been released, but I could only find A4 revisions of the 655.

I am seeing 6-8ms pings through my 825 to LA(wired), I am 40 miles to the southeast. Better then the Cisco I had!

As furry said, 2 routers will kill you, if you need to run it, make sure the addresses are different. 192.168.1.xxx, 192.168.0.xxx, went through this with Vonage, weired things start happening if they are the same address range.
