portforward?, UPnP?, DMZ? Help!
« on: January 02, 2012, 09:32:42 PM »

I have no idea which one to do.
I have a DIR-615 router running FW version 3.01 with Hardware Version: C1 , my xbox is wired to my router.

When i portforwarded, i had an strict nat, but had the best connection, but not by very much.
When i put DMZ on, i had a strict nat, and the connection to other people was a bit better then UPnP.
When i had UPnP on i had a open nat, i could barely be able to connect to anyone.

what is a DHCP Reservations List?

Thanks,

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.


Some things to try:
Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual? You can find these under Status/Device Info/Wan section.
Turn off ALL QoS (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options. Advanced/QoS or Gamefuel.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router. Setup/Networking
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

Can review the XBL gaming and gamefuel sticky in the DGL-4500 forum.
IMO, if your going to be gaming on XBL, it would best serve you if you got into a DGL-4500, or DIR-655, or DIR-657 router as these have better options for gaming and QoS and work well with XBL. The 4500 is a great router for gaming. I have 2 of these.

Maybe someone can review your router settings with you using teamviewer.
