Need router help
Well, My old NETGEAR router broke, and I just very recently got a Linkysys router.

So ALL I wanta know is.

What problems with this pose for online, are they fixable, and how bad will they be?

Thanks.

Cant really say if there will be a problem. But if there is I'm sure its fixable, most likely if you run into a problem you will just need to forward your ports. If it helps, I've only ever owned Linksys routers and never had any problems with connecting and such.

The only time most people run into problems is when they use a Static IP. If you do not know what that is, than you're fine and should have 0 problems (Did you just have your router set itself up automatically? If so I have yet to see any issues with Linksys, although alot can depend on your ISP).
If you run a Static IP and cant talk on your mic (most of the time you can still hear), then you need to open ports to allow your router to accept.

K, thanks, We had a comcast Technician(Lol) come over and set up the router, so what did you mean by did it set up by itself?

At least I'll be able to ehar though, if its static, if it is..

Give it a whirl first, if it works you're good. If not, here's a couple good troubleshooting guides from the Xbox site that may help you.
