How can I get a better connection to my xbox live with a belkin router?

I have a Belkin F5D8230-4 router, but my NAT is always moderate and I lag in every game I play. I am using an ethernet cable to connect my xbox 360 directly to my router (less than 100 meters away). Every time i connect to COD 4 or something, I lag like no other and my connection is never good.How can I get a better connection to my xbox live with a belkin router?
You need to make your NAT Open. Do this by opening ports 88 and 3074 in your router.





First you need to setup a static IP for your xbox in your router.





Then forward the ports.

  • How can i get a wireless connection for my laptop?

    I have a compaq laptop and a linksys wireless router and right now it is hooked up to a wired ethernet cablebut i want to be able to have a wireless connection. Also please include all the details please.How can i get a wireless connection for my laptop?
    The steps vary depending on your model. Setting up wireless is actually easy. You just right click the icons with 2 monitor screens in the lower right hand corner of your screen, and then click on Connect to a Network. The rest is straight forward from there.





    The problems is setting up the security. This is the reason why I frown against wireless. Well that and the fact that there might be dead spots in your home and interference is also an issue.





    I strongly recommend powerline. It won't be the cheapest option, but it is definitely the most reliable option. Like everything, nothing is 100% reliable, but powerline does not have the problems wireless has. Older powerling technologies weren't that good, but they have just about perfected them.

    Unplug the Ethernet cable first. Turn the wireless switch on, right click the computer icon at bottom right in task tray, click view all available wireless networks, click on yours, enter password is a secured network and click connect.
    This will help:

    How do I block the Internet Connection to other computers?

    I have at%26amp;t and i want to block the internet from other computer in my house from using since they don't pay. I've tried blocking them from the router settings but that doesn't work since it also blocks my connection.How do I block the Internet Connection to other computers?
    You could try MAC filtering, just allowing your machine through and blocking others.


    However, to filter specific access for specific users, you may need something more powerful that a home box-store router.


    If this is wireless, then the above posters are correct, turn on WPA security on the wireless and put in a good password. That, along with MAC filtering, will keep most people out.How do I block the Internet Connection to other computers?
    Password protect your wireless network? Read the manual of the router.
    You would need to set encryption for any wireless. Then make sure they can not get physical access to the router to plug in. Or buy a router with parental controls and set it to only allow your own machine.

    How can i keep my internet connection stable?

    My internet connection says 100mbps, and I've usually only ever been able to download at a rate of 90kb/s. Every now and then though, it hikes up to a max of 950kb/s but then goes back down in a few days. What can i do to make sure it stays high?How can i keep my internet connection stable?
    The quick answer is there is no way to keep it stable you are at the mercy of the ISP.How can i keep my internet connection stable?
    There's actually a number of things going on here:





    1.) 100mbps indicates your LAN connection, but not your overall internet connection. Your computer is connected to your router or modem at 100mbps, but your router/modem is likely connected to the internet at a much lower speed. So, anything that has to go out of your own network (basically, the internet) is bottlenecked by the slowest connection. An optimal 100mbps can achieve approximately 11.5MB/sec.





    2.) Referring to the bottleneck situation above, the bottleneck may not necessarily be your internet connection. If the server you're downloading from is slow, then you're going to get a slow speed.





    3.) Depending on the quality of your ISP, your connection quality may not necessarily be consistent. This is especially the case with Cable providers, where everyone in your neighborhood shares the same line.





    There's a reason why the internet is called the ';information superhighway,'; and that's because the internet functions pretty much like a set of highways. Your 100mbps connection from your computer to your router is like a driveway with a 11500 KB/sec speed limit. Then, your cable connection is basically like a narrow highway with approximately 2000 KB/sec speed limit (depending on your provider), but because it's shared, it almost always is in a state of a traffic jam; how bad depends on the time. Then, the server has its own driveway, and just like an inadequately designed parking lot, those may jam too.





    General idea is - most likely, it's out of your control. Call your ISP and yell at them.
    100mbps refers to your computer's connection to the modem or router. That is the speed of your local network basically. To accurately determine the speed of your internet connection, go to http://www.speedtest.net

    How much wireless connection is there for free?

    I am seriously thinking of getting a live in vehicle, so there would be no chance of getting my own connection or router. If I were to get a laptop with a network card then, in an urban area (UK) How much connection would I be able to pick up? What percentage of people leave their networks unprotected? What sort of range do networks have?





    I have no interest in malicious hacking, I'd find a better place to ask this question if I were!





    Cheers.How much wireless connection is there for free?
    You have two choices. First you can connect with a cellular service. You will need a usb celluar device. You will always be able to connect if you can receive the cellular signal. Or you can get a wireless card and search for ';hotspots'; in you area to connect for free.





    You can find a list of hotspots in you area at the following page.

    How can I get a better Wi-Fi connection from encrypted connections?

    I just got a new laptop with wifi connection and theres this place called Access Connections in which I pick a certain connection. The problem is, i'm limited to the open network ones because the rest are encrypted and they always ask me for a network key. So how can i get those keys to get the better connection they offer?How can I get a better Wi-Fi connection from encrypted connections?
    Ask the owner of the router/network for the key. Or setup your own wireless network: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/moredone鈥?/a>
