I added XBox 360 about a month ago and didn't change any settings.  About a week and a half later, I started constantly dropping connection to laptops and Xbox 360.  I tried changing router setup to recommended settings for gaming with XBox 360 with no difference.  Since changing set-up to above, internet is NOT dropping out.  But now I need help in setting up for XBox 360 gaming and PS3 movie streaming without losing connection again.  Anyone able to help with settings or teamviewer?

You can review the gaming and gamefuel sticky for XBL and that will help you get the xbox going. There is a PSN sticky over on the DGL-4500 forum that will help with PSN.

Let us know if you need more help.

I tried the settings from the gaming stickies but this just made it worse.  I don't know if I'm having issues with the router.  I can run through the modem only and don't have this issue.  It sounds like the same problem that the B hardware routers are having.  It's either I screwed up the settings or the router is going bad.

My Rev B router works well with those settings. I would review the settings and the sticky again.
