Q. Here are my Router Details;
Model name: Linksys E3000
Model number: E3000
Serial number: CVQ01KB09514
Firmware version: 1.0.04 build 6
Operating system: Windows 7
Software version: 1.3.11006.1
Connection type (WAN): DHCP
IP address (LAN): 192.168.0.1
IP address (WAN): 192.168.1.64
Computer IP address: 192.168.0.109
Okay, so I was trying to figure out how to connect my xbox to my router without constant lag for me and my teammates. I saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg7Ez-4yccM but instead of editing the port range forwarding I edited the Single port forwarding. I had 4 bars on xbl for about 3 hours. Then BAM it strangely went back down to 1 or 2 bars. My NAT is open by the way. I can't believe this, this is like a $200 router! Please help me fix this.

A. Um yeah dis is the grul that u answerd a question for well shut tha fukk up dont answer my questions if ur going to be with ur additude u ugly bitchhh
Linksys e3000/xbox 360 ?
Q. Ok so I bought the linksys e3000 thinking it would solve my lag on my xbox. But it's even worse now. I play a lot of call of duty and I'm always two bar, regardless of the host. I'm a noob at networking so any info would be great.
Additional info. My ISP is qwest and I have the 40 mpbs plan.

A. First of all, if you can do a wired connection, do that. Wired will be faster, more consistent and stable.
Either way, follow Microsoft's instructions to set up the router's NAT to "Open". The article walks you through it quite nicely:
http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/kb/error-your-nat-type-strict.aspx?kbid=979000
Personally, I set up a DMZ on my router for my Xbox 360. Have no issues whatsoever. The article tells you how to that as well, if you want to.
If you're going wireless, make sure the signal has the cleanest path available. This means going through walls and floors at straight through angles and as little "junk" in between the devices as possible. If you have concrete, refridgerators, steel beams, etc. that degrades the signal considerably.
Also, make sure the firmware for both the router and the DSL modem are up to date. You'd be amazed at how many issues can be solved by getting the most recent firmware. And, make sure that the Qwest modem isn't part of the problem. Some of the older ones are not good.

Which router to use; Linksys WRT400N or Linksys E3000?
Q. I'm currently using the WRT400N router. A friend gave me the E3000 awhile back; I want to use one and sell the other. We have a desktop and two laptops that are connected wireless plus we share a printer and also have other wireless devices (phones, ps3, tv) connected at times. The only thing hard wired is a blu-ray player. Which one should I keep?
A. I think you can use E3000 router. Both the routers are simultaneous Dual-band routers.
This router has Guest network access also.
You can let your friends to access Internet without connecting to your main network.
But make sure that your router is using latest firmware.
Upgrade the firmware on E3000.
After upgrading the firmware, reset the router and reconfigure it.
In order to use Guest network, you will need to install this router using Cisco connect software.

Cisco Linksys E2000 Wireless Router question?
Q. I am not familiar with routers so I do not know what all these stats mean. For example: "Selectable Dual-Band (2.4 or 5 GHz), 4-Port Gigabit Router DD-WRT/Tomato Compatible" What do these mean and is this compatible with a cable modem since I am currently using a cable modem for internet? Thank you very much.
and how good is the signal length for this?
and how good is the signal length for this?
A. There are 2 types of Dual-Band N Routers; Selectable and Simultaneous. Always get a Simultaneous DBN Router. The E2000 is a Selectable,
With Dual-Band, there are 2 separate radio frequencies being broadcast, 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Overlapping the 2 signals increases the range and signal in Wireless N Routers, but most people forget (or don't know) that they also need to set their network adapters on their PC's or other devices to match the Router's wireless settings.
Selectable Routers only let you select either 2.4ghz or 5ghz for your wireless bands, leaving the other band useless for anything else but overall signal and range performance. Simultaneous Routers allow you to use both wireless bands at the same time, essentially giving you 2 wireless networks in one Router. What this means is that you can use one frequency band for media streaming, gaming, etc., while using the other band for PC traffic.
For example, I use my 5ghz band for all of my business, media, and gaming data streams; I route all other traffic (family use) over the 2.4ghz band. Since the bands are independent, they don't interfere with each other.
Bottom line is that if you want to get the most out of a DBN Router, get a Simultaneous Dual-Band so you can use both bands at the same time. The Linksys E2000 and E2100L are Selectable Routers; the E3000 and the new 4200 are Simultaneous Routers. The 4200 is the latest step up, with averages approaching 450mbps, and is designed for high speed media streaming.
Keep in mind that speed is determined by the slowest network device, so even if you have an N Router, and your other devices are Wireless G, they'll still only connect to the Router at G speeds, i.e., 54mbps. To get N speeds, both the Router and the adapters on your PC's and other networked devices must also be Wireless N.
DD-WRT/Tomato just means it's compatible with the DD-WRT and Tomato firmware upgrades, which most average users don't care about. 4-port means it has 4 Ethernet (hardwire) ports;Gigabit means it's capable of processing at Gigabit speeds, but you'll never see it unless you've got a T3 or comparable connection.
All Routers are compatible with cable modems.
