I've checked over evrything on my Homehub settings and the correct ports are already open under the Xbox Live Preset thing thats already on it. But what im gonna do is my boyfriend says hes gonna bring his belkin router as it can work as an access point also and try that with it when he comes round next, if so, will just buy one of them or equiv. As peeps have been saying and as i can see now, Its obviously the ICS cause the issue so take...

Gaming using this router has been very frustrating indeed, so out of frustration I swapped back to my netgear WNR2000 and...

can you ping sites using the FQDN?? i.e.. try pinging xrv.org.uk If yes then try pinging bikelane.com (gave you a UK based site and an american based site as that should check DNS and routing..) If they ping OK then your DNS is fine if not then you know it's DNS issues.. Could be simple routing issues, we used to have problems with Orange and used to get stuff like american sites, or any site not in thier own cache go down quite often One...

It's a bit too specialised for somewhere like Argos. Some other places that sell it. ---------- Post added at 15:35 ---------- Previous post was at 15:33 ---------- Pabs - bit of a difference in budget. The official 360 Wireless is ~£50+ and Powerline would be maybe £80+, vs the £25 access point.

Apologies I had not seen your instructions. Thanks for the information.

I deal with these routers on a daily basis setting them up with customers over the phone, and the D Link is by far the easiest.

I purchased the 655 to replace an aging Linksys BEFSR41, and have been happy with its performance. Its a more full featured router than the Linksys with loads more options than i need. It also has gigabit lan ports which i find useful. A gigabit wan port is hardly necessary with todays internet speeds, but it's there anyway. One thing i *cannot* get working though is port forwarding. On my old Linksys i had two settings in port...
