Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) D link has come out with wired or wireless GAMEING routers built just for gameing, not for lame office networks like outher routers, its made for shareing connections with outher computers in your home wile one of them is gameing and the outher one doing lame stuff like emails and such. This router is special for this type of thing, it breaks up the data into smaller packets so that it can be sent faster and gives the gameing machine priority wile on line. I have one and it works great. http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=371DGL-4100 And for the wireless version http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=370DGL-4300 Edited November 7, 2007 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_sniper_EBDA Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yep these have been around for a few years, as soon as my netgear fails (dam thing has been running great for 4 years) :angry: I think I will pick the 4300 up, they run around 100 USD at Fry's Electronics.

custard~SPARTA~ Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 No money they still make the 4300 that one is just bigger n got more arials on etc. I'm not expert on wireless but I see a lot on dlink site about backwards compatable etc and I know the 4300 Is able to run different versions of wireless standards. Remember this is just a Router not modem as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) this would be great as COD4 seems to kick ppl for losing packets, think I fixed mine last night though. Have heard about these before but cant justify spending £50 when my router works fab at the moment. 1 other thing....I heard this prioritises your gaming packets and your download packets, so you dont get a high ping or lag when downloading torrents or whatever.

custard~SPARTA~ Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 It does priorities game packets and I got mine for £34. Last nights rubbish was not us tho Mark all over were having connection issues inc EBDA according to Dirty O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmokalot Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Came across this post and yea its kind of old, but have to say I've had my DGL-4300 for about 3-4yrs and its still kicking butt. Most games I don't have to port forward (except for hosting a game where I get an extra 5ms for opening them). I love it, works better then any router I've ever had and not to mention was one of the first home routers offering gigabit. Now its dime a dozen. For a while with new firmware releases they would update configration specifically for certain games, you would select the gmae and the special ports that needed to be opened it would open wiht "profiles". Also this is the longest l;asting router I've had actually, have had previous Dlink's, linksys, and Netgear's flake after about 2yrs due to cheap internals frying on me.
