Currently Im using D-link Di524 and I am unable forward my router. So I was looking for another router that is 360 compatible aswell. My question is I am looking at http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Linksys-Wireless-G-Router-WRT54G/sem/rpsm/oid/69086/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do#tabs
Linksys- WRT54G (I know this is 360 compatible)
But does anyone know how well it forwards. The programs I am trying to forward are Team Speak, Halo ce dedi, Unreal Tournament, and Halo 2 vista. Don't worry only one of those at a time. Two at the most.
Just tell me if its good at forwarding or if you know a better one that is also live compatible please tell me and post the link so i can purchase the router.
Note- it has to be wireless as well.

It's what I have. Download speeds for uTorrent go from 20 unforwarded, to 150 forwarded.
So, it's good.

I haven't had any problems with Teamspeak, Halo, Unreal Tournament, and a bunch of other multiplayer games. I'm pretty sure it'll work for Halo 2 Vista too.

Your router has very little to do with BitTorrent download speeds. It's about how many seeders and leechers there are.

No, forwarding also affects it.
Believe me, the change is pretty big.

The D-Link Di-524 is a good router, it's Xbox Compatible, and you can forward the ports for anything else you need.
I use one right now, as well as a Gigabit switch for 1000mbps LAN. It works great.
If you have any questions on how to forward, let me know, or check out portforward.com (http://www.portforward.com).

You obviously didn't try very hard, because the DI-524 has all the features you need to forward ANYTHING you want.

I had my Internet service provider come over and they told me that i should get a new router if i want to do what i want. I even contacted d-link they said that if you want to run servers get a better d-link.
