helps with double nat 2 xbox 360 same network

Well it's easy to set up from the CD. The signal is good in the 2.5 GHz band. This helps to solve the double nat problem on XBOX 360. It does NOT have a good 5GHz signal as many have said. Updated to the beta version of the latest firmware 2.0.3 helps a little. Especially with a drop in signal at 5 GHz. However, this will NOT help with a poor signal. Mine doesn't need to be rebooted as some say to get or keep a signal, I have a good 2.5GHz signal (even though I live in a one story brick house). In addition, the supplied cable is very cheap. It broke within a minute of trying to plug it in. Is the inside of the adapter bent? What the hell? I bought an old one lying around as I needed it to fix my dual nature issue on my Xboxs this weekend so my wife and I could play BF4! Didn't have time to return just for a replacement due to a faulty cable. Here guys is my experience with this router. This is a pretty reliable router, they just need to make better cables and fix the 5GHz issue and it will be the best deal on the market for your money. Additional note: Mine had a serial number to register it for the 30 day warranty. and your device MUST support the new 5GHz band to connect in the same way. For example, the new iPads and iPhone 5s and 5s have dual-band network adapters and can see 5GHz. I'm currently connected.
