How to optimize your router for XBL

In this video, I demonstrate how to optimize your router for XBL using a Linksys router.
If your router differs from the one I used in this video, refer to your user manual or Google on how to access the web based configuration and the DMZ option.

Hey man thanks for this. I recently had to change my IP for cost reasons and a ridicules cap. Been having problems with XBL dropping on my new IP even on my new Lynksys E2500, I hope this will reduce the problem. Many Thanks for all your work.

@clarkydm You're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to write something positive.

Good job dude, way to make it easy for everyone. One note I'd like to say, instead of having people add to the DHCP reserve, why not just tell everyone to just use the MAC address (which you did in the video anyway), but since the MAC address doesn't change, they don't have to worry about the IP address.

[DizzyDougTV]

@dfa1 Because I don't like MAC address authentication. It's not good for overall network speed, stability and reliability.

Thanks Dizzy, immediate improvement to my Black Ops gaming.

Best how-to video on optimizing game console performance that I've ever seen. Worked great on my netgear wnr2000. You're pretty damn good!

I have a hauwei router  how should i do this?

[tzillian7]

good vid, quick question though. can this be done even if i use powerline networking? would you say this wireless setup out performs powerline?

thanks man ive been messing with this for 2 years ive talked to microsoft linksys even my isp the first thing i was told to do was to enable upnp by all of them then i done port forwarding triggering dmz all that n you mean all i had to do was turn off the damn upnp ohhwell least it works now thank you so much your a lifesaver

hey im having some trouble i did the dmz stuff to ip its still the same i did port forwarding and triggering still lagging did the mtu but im still unsure what i should set my mtu at... im wondering maybe it could be the ipv6 firewall? if u could help me with the mtu and the ipv6 firewall i'd really appreciate it.. also it can't be my connection i dont' think atleast it's running at 45-50 mbsp
