Ok, so i've recently moved to my moms house and hooked up my computer and xbox. I've had a little problem with the router before since it's a wireless linksys router. Anyway when I use to use the router with a wireless adapter it won't let me go through the in-game TF2, CS:S browsers since it wouldn't find many games or when i connect it would sit at the loading bar and never go any further. I had to use an ethernet cord that went directly to the router to fix it.
That was about a year back and they never messed with the router or anything since I left. Now I've hooked up a Hub to the router and I'm having the same problem. I have to use things like all-seeing-eye to get into games, it works fine with that but when me and my bro try and play both xbox live and TF2 (or any game online at the same time) one or the other gets disconnected or has connectivity problems.
I havn't accessed the router since comcast hooked it up a year ago, they made some random password instead of the default. So I cannot see if disabling the firewall or opening ports would help any,
My question is, could it be the the wireless router? I just used plug and play methods and didn't make a network other than what was already set up. I bought a $20.00 hub, would a switch be better? I was thinking of having comcast come out and replace the wireless router with an old standard non-wireless since I've never had problems with them. Any suggestions?
