New Qos Settings (Wondering on wether to use them or not)

Still wondering wether anyone can confirm that my free game is its on way to me, or if theres a problem/delay dispatching them to people.

Hi Val. Sorry to see you're having troubles with your router. Have you looked at

support.xbox.com/.../browse There is a lot of great information that can help you through the process there.I'd suggest to go here since you have many questions regarding your set up.

I wish I had specifics regarding QoS to share with you.



However, I can suggest that port forwarding should include both TCP and UDP for port 3074.

It's more efficient and takes less router CPU time than DMZ.



Please also make sure that UPnP is disabled as it can conflict with both DMZ and Port Forwards.

you should set QOS on ports.

If you want to understand and read here is one of the best links I ever saw. It´s for tomato Firmware but you can use the Information for all.

Use the 360's IP for both. give it a preference of 1 (being the best) I usually assign 90% of the available bandwidth to the 360. (This option isn't available for all routers)

I recommend reading "How to Configure Your Router for Gaming" the QoS stuff is on page 7.

Usually with QoS you only need enter the IP or the ports.

I feel using the IP is much easier.

Note that you don't need to enable this if you know that there are not any additional users on the network while you're on the 360.
