So I got myself this router:
It's called Vodafone Sharing Dock (R101) it cost me 30€, overall seens to be a pretty cool router.
I connect my Xbox 360 and it run Xbox Live fine no lag, only one problem... NAT restrictions... I had all ports open and still I got NAT warnings.
All fine until now, I have no fucking idea why but now I can't connect to Xbox Live, It complains about MTU being too low. And guess what? You can't change fucking the MTU volume on the damn router.
I was like WTF? No option to change the MTU? Damn it!
I just order a new replacement router. A TP-Link TL-MR3220 it costed me 35€ (Shipped) and seens way better that Vodafone toy.

just with your NAT strict settings, sometimes the 360 dashboard screws up.. So you have to run the test again.. Here is a tutorial HQ ozzy wrote about it, it helped fix my issues a few times, because my router has everything opened for Xbox LIVE but i still got restricted.
Oh and i like the look of the second router.. very cool. The first one does look like a toy.

So you didnt check to see if you can reprogram that router before getting a new one ? And by reprogram I mean replace the firmware with another compatable one, Ive done it to one router converting it into a wireless repeater. _________________________________________________________
