Gaming routers.

Hey guys i would like to know what would be the best gaming router.
E.g. Something that opens games ports automatic. and perferably around the £120 region.


Thanks

Re: Gaming routers.

With UPnP they all will open ports correctly.
Do you need wireless? N? Gigabit LAN ports?

Re: Gaming routers.

How do you mean "Opens game ports automatic"? Are you going to be hosting games or?

Re: Gaming routers.

Most routers with UPnP open the ports automatically. Not all of them though. They are easy to open anyways.

Re: Gaming routers.

I'm only asking as the only need to Open Ports is if you intend on hosting a game server

Re: Gaming routers.

I personally do not know of any routers that will forward ports automatically unless the server is specifically written to request a port be opened by UPNP - are we talking console gaming or PC gaming?
