thanks Gotmad. but whats the difference between a cat5 and cat6?

[Gotmadskillzson]

Cat6 is more stable, less interference from other products and offer more speed if the source offers a higher speed. Plus on that website it is only a $2 difference.

Test your connection via XBL to see if your NAT is Open. This is important when connecting to others when playing online. If it's moderate, you need to get it open. Here's video which should. I own E1000 & used this video to get my NAT open.

No more connection problems

Don't forget to check for updated firmware, I'm pretty sure Linksys released an update last month.

i may try that in the future, thanks.

how do i check for a firmware update?

[Gotmadskillzson]

Normally it will automatically update itself. But you can just go to the web based control panel of the router and click update.

Nothing that any consumer needs to worry about.
