Hi there I have been sitting with it still in the box, I might get to it tomorrow. I went out and bought a PS3 with the price drop. Got the 80 gig,, and it came with the DVD controller, extra controller. motor storm delux edition.Costco in the store only, they do not have it online. I downloaded every demo game online and went out and bought warhawk with the blue tooth headset. Pretty fun.. The game graphics are a little too cartoonish though. Still I enjoy Knife kills from my battlefield 1942 days. Ill be real stingy buying games though, Ill wait for better graphics. I think a lot of the developers are not using the capability of both machines. I think next year will be better. I might buy mass effect. I have way too many FPS games. Now that I have played demos for quite a few, Im really happy with HALO3, what a difference, its a real masterpiece of art.No One is going to get my cash unless they step up to the plate with the graphics.
Ill be back to halo tomorrow after I install and possible uninstall the router.. Im thinking also of moving the router to behind my TV and gaming decks. Ill go hard wire for all three machines. One thing about this game, its way funner when you play as a team and act with coordinated effort.I want to join a clan or get on a team. I think i want to be hardwired for that. I dont want to F' around.. server lag is bad enough without having a bad connect wireless. And we do get server lag pretty often.

My wifes computer has an internal WIFI and she can go wireless. She does not do any gaming :)) HELL SHE HARDLY SURFS THE WEB Ill have to get a 3 way splitter. Ill let you know what happens, and we can hook up for some games.

And how did you make out? The more that think about it I could not find anything that says that game fuel Tech or gamers lounge. applies to using the router wireless.
Something tells me it works when there are other computers WIRED to it so that if one of the stations is gaming it gives it priority bandwith. Ill see if I can get the tech to spill the beans tomorrow. They might not want to say.




I'm the same way......I did a hard reset on my netgear, and it has been working fine....I have the DGL 4300 sitiing here also.....I still haven't decided what to do.....

Im gonna give it a few more days to try the netgear,,,,,

stay in touch...

BTW, I think hardwire is the way to go..


stay in touch....and I agree about HALO........I don't think the grapics are cutting edge, but they are for halo.....The gameplay is what I like.....I went to to rainbow 6 to play with my clan...and I could not beilieve what a stuttering, frame skipping, mess it is(I have 160 days into R6..).......HALO has ruined me for other older games.....

With the D-link Gaming router you do not have to open any ports just make sure UNiversal plug AKA UpNP is on in the router

Gamefuel is best turned off especially if you don't have any network traffic going on while playing because gamerfuel affects you using Window media player and the best Firmware for the 4100-4300 routers is 1.6 although yopu might want try out the stock firmware that in it

I will probably order a Dlink dir- 655 becase the firmware is better in it.

who has played with a Linksys sau Gs model and a Dling gaming router bothe using wired connections which is better



hi stillen......I noticed that also....1.6 is the last certified LIVE firmware,.....the other after that are not certified.....but 1.8 is better for the Wii.....(which I also have)....

I ws thinking of the 655..or the new 4900 gaming router...but neither are live certified.........


have you tried the other non certified firmware with the 4300?.....

is 1.6 on the web site? A tech just told me if a router is working it always superceeds the necessary bandwith to run a game on a machine. From what I read they might have f'd up the XBOX live cert with the software upgrade...i saw that also that was one of the first things I was thinking of no 1.6 on the new router They come with 1.7 and then it upgrades to 1.8... My old router is working I think Ill take this back and keep the 100.00.. I might experiment with hard wiring.. tech did tell me the difference would be negligable if I hard wired, as long as others were not usung the network, and they never are..

Thanks for all the info and the other model numbers.. I might look into those later.. I think im going to follow the "if its not broke dont fix it "rule. Is that how it goes?Ill fry my current router before I buy another one.
