WRT300N and Gaming?

I have recently purchased a WRT300N and am having problems connecting to some of my computer games. I opened the ports on the router, but it doesn't seem like the ports actually opened. When playing Diablo II, I can be the server and have another computer on my LAN connect to me, but I cannot connect to another computer on my LAN. I also use a bit torrent program, it is telling me to recheck my port forwarding and make sure the proper ports are open. As far as other games like Rappelz go, I cannot connect to their servers to play. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Opening ports on the router only affects connections from the internet into your LAN. It does not affect LAN connections. On the LAN side the router is basically a simple ethernet switch. If you can connect in one direction but not in the other it is usually because of a firewall installed on the computer to which you cannot connect.
Otherwise, please post the exact settings you have tried.

I want to get an iMac to learn Logic Pro primarily and gaming secondly

I am new to all this (computers, Logic Pro and video games) but I want to learn. Is an iMac a good computer to run Logic Pro (I am also considering Mac mini)? I am also wondering about the nvidia geforce gtx 780m with 4 gb dedicated ram. How many years down the road will this graphics card be good for. From what I hear pc gamers have to periodically be upgrading things like graphics cards on their computers to be able to play newer games in the future, but I don't have that option with say this graphics card on the 27 inch imac, so I guess my question is, for how long will this nvidia geforce gtx 780m with 4 gb dedicated ram be good for before it becomes obsolete, 3 years, 5 years ,maybe more or less I do not know. I was thinking about getting a Mac mini for the Logic Pro and getting a play station 4 for gaming or just getting thr iMac and use it for both Logic Pro and gaming and forget about the play station 4. I need some real help over here, so if anyone could please help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. P.S. I have also heard that the Mac mini is a good option for Logic Pro being that it has the integrated graphics card and Logic Pro is not a really graphic intensive app, so maybe I would be straight going the Mac mini and play station 4 route.

You are better off getting a dedicated gaming box for gaming than using a Mac for heavy gaming.
Unless you go with a top of the line iMac with just about all of the optional components, Macs do not make great heavy gaming machines. Plus, a gaming box is sooo much cheaper than a Mac for gaming.
For using Logic, I would just go for the 21 inch screen iMac and get it with the optional full 16 GBs of RAM and optional i7 CPU and, if you can afford all of the options, get this iMac with the optional Fusion drive, too!
The combination SSD and hard drive in the fusion drive will help make up for the slower 5400 RPM drives that they are putting into only the 21 inch screen models.
With this configuration, this iMac would last you, at least, 5 years.

Changes to applications and gaming have no effect on WRT54Gv2.2 and restarting breaks routing

If I power off my router and power it back on, nothing on my network can get out and none of the port forwarding works.
If I log into the router and use diagnostics to ping stuff outside my network it works just fine, but nothing on my network works any longer.
Also, even when it is working, making changes to the applications and gaming page has no effect. Old entries on that page still forward to where they did before I made the changes, even though the router will show them going to the new place I told it to go to. This is extremely frustrating because I eventually try restarting my router which gives the problem I mentioned above that I can no longer use the internet at all from any machine on my network even though my router is connected properly to the internet.
The way I fix this is by loading an old configuration file and then loading back one with my current settings. This also doesn't always work and it takes a lot of trial and error to get it back to normal. This has been happening ever since I last upgraded the firmware, which I had to upgrade because automatically updating DynDNS was no longer working. I can't find the old firmware anywhere on linksys' site so that I could test if it's a bug in the firmware. This is my last resort before I buy a new router as it's driving me insane.

Thank you ricewind, I installed a slightly earlier verson of the firmware and it appears to be working properly for the moment. If the problem doesn't come back I'll report back that it's probably a bug in the version of the firmware I was using (which was WRT54GV4.0_4.21.1_US_code.bin)
Thanks again

WRT300N and SD2008

Hi, I'm trying to update my home network. I did have an older wired Linksys router and switch set up and everything was working fine.
I wanted to add wireless capability to my network and add a switch with more wired ports.
I'm now using the Linksys WRT300N and an SD2008 switch. I have 2 desktop computers, 2 Tivos, and 2 other wired jacks for connections.
The 2 desktops are both able to access the Internet.
The 2 Tivos can connect to the Internet for updates.
The 2 desktops can see the Tivos on the network.
The 2 Tivos CANNOT see the desktops (though they can see each other).
The laptop won't connect to the Internet or the home network via either of the other 2 wired jacks.
Via the Linksys Advisor, I can see both desktops and both Tivos from my desktop. I CANNOT see the laptop (no matter which jack it's plugged into).
(I haven't even tried to set anything up wirelessly yet.)
I don't have any clues at all how to fix any of this. I've tried disconnecting everything, reconnecting, it, recycling, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for the help!

In your computers, temporarily turn off the software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps.

WRT54G Applications and Gaming entries won't SAVE

Whenever I go into the "Applications and Gaming" section of my WRT54G router settings and try and input anything in it doesn't save. It says SAVE SUCCESFUL BUT IT ISN'T!
It used to save back when I first got the router but after I reinstalled windows it stopped working.
Any help would be nice.
And for some reason I can't upgrade the firmware I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem in the first place. But I have Firmware Version: v1.00.4. I don't know it that's the latest or what.

Sounds like you might have corrupted firmware. Reset your router back to factory default settings then try the TFTP.EXE program and upload the firmware to the router.

Does macbook pro of early 2011, macbook 17'' possess 3D vision and gaming ability?

Does macbook pro of early 2011, macbook 17'' possess 3D vision and gaming ability?

No 3D vision, but the top end 2.2+ 15" & 17" supports a pretty decent video card for 3D gaming, for a laptop, scores 30 on Cinebench. WOW will play on highest settings 50fps and better.
But still a Windows tower smokes anything Apple has and you can replace the video cards, so if your serious, you should go there or get a Playstation, better bang for the buck.

Wrt300n and Compaq nx8220

WRT300N and wireless G

I have the WRT300N and my laptop is only wireless g right now, how do I make it run in super g so i get 108 mbps instead of 54?

That is a great question. I don't see any clear documentation of the answer on the Linksys web site. Maybe someone else can point it out.
The general rule is that in order to get the most speed from your router, you must have a matching notebook adapter. Since you have a wireless-N router, you can probably expect the best performance if you got a wireless-N adapter for your laptop, such as the WPC300N.
If you only use an ordinary wireless-G card, you will be limited to 54Mbps.

GS30 Shadow and Gaming Dock internals (video)

GS30 Shadow and Gaming Dock internals
The GS30 Shadow is a light, slim machine with a high-powered, high-voltage Intel Core i7 CPU and the usual stuff you find in an MSI Gaming notebook. One thing it does lack though, is a dedicated graphics card, instead it comes with a PCI-E 3.0 x16 connector and a sizeable dock, the Gaming Dock, in which you’ll be able to fit a full desktop graphics card and a few other goodies.
To tell you more about the GS30 Shadow and the Gaming Dock, we’ve created a little video to walk you through the combo and what you can expect hardware-wise.
The video:

Docking is a brilliant idea, but my boyfriend is gamer and an engineer, he is trying to look for independent laptop for its high performance. Does anyone know where can I find independent one from docking?

T400 and gaming............Any good??

Hows the t400 and gaming, is the graphics card good. I think I have the base model card.

you can either get the Intel X4500 or the ATI 3470, some older games are playable. There is a review of someone playing some games on a T400 using both the intel and ati graphics card.
These laptops are not really meant for games.

Wrt300n and wap 4400n for network in iraq

Here is what i want to do and what i have. I need to know what else i need please:
I am in iraq trying to setup a wireless network with 2 parts. I have the wrt300n that will be connected to the internet to setup up wireless internet and the wap4400n so that i can setup a local network. the internet goes up and down so often that i need the local network to chat with others. from the router to my location is about 75ft with 15ft tall concrete barriors in the way. the wap4400n will be setup at my location. the computers that i want to communicate with for both internet and chat are aprox 175ft in a triangle from my location to two locations with concrete barriors periodically placed. i have not been able to test the system yet.
Question #1: what range extenders can I use that will allow me to extend both systems.
Question #2 what do these extenders need to be connected to(power) and are these antennas able to be placed outside?
Question #3: can the wap4400n be used as one of the extenders for the router to boost the internet signal?
Question #4: what is the reccomended distance before you need to get an antenna booster. I know this varies based on situation.
Thanks in advance.
Ray from south of baghdad.....

i don't think that the WAP4400N is capable of repeating the wireless signals..it can function only as an Access Point...so the only way to use it would be to run an ethernet cable between the WRT300N and WAP4400N...
if u want more range , better set up would be
WRT300N -->> WAP54GP( AP Mode) ~~~~~~ WAP54GP ( Wireless Repeater )

WRT300N and XBox 360 Live

I am having problems connecting to Xbox Live since switching to the 360. I had my account switched over and I did my setup.
My main problem is that when i test to see if Xbox live is working, once I get to IP Address it fails every time. Can someone who maybe had this problem help me as to where I am going wrong.
Much thanks in advance.

First thing you have to make sure is that, you have to assign a static
ip address on XBOX like 192.168.15.10, with subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, and gateway 192.168.15.1
Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.15.1 in browser’s
address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name.
Go to applications and gaming tab
Now Forward the ports you have to this static ip address, which you
assign to your XBOX
Usually ports used by xbox are:88 & 3074, which you can forward.

Wrt300n security issue. And Gaming issue.

I have wrt300n router, And when i try to add any of the Security Modes, i can't connect to the internet with my WMP54G. but when i Disable the security mode it connects just fine. So my question is how can i have my WPA2 personal Security mode up (or any security modes up)and connect with my wireless card ?? It connects just fine with my labtop, when the security mode is up, But the Pc downstairs with the Wireless card in it dosnt want to connect.. My pass key works and it connects to the router just fine, but it just dosn't want to allow me to access the internet. Oh and another thing when im playing Online games, As in Counterstike, The wireless connection seems to drop! The computer i game on is connected directly to the router. The wireless drops on the Pc downstairs and on my labtop.
Thanks

Does it work on other security modes? WEP? WPA personal?
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

Hi,
Firstly your machine is not suitable for gaming, only for browsing internet and light office work. The system can handle shared RAM and the option now is to sell this machine and buy a proper gaming machine such as one of these:
