I am not sure at all if this is the correct place to post this question but here goes.
I have a Belkin F5D8233-4 Wireless N Router and i know it isn't all that great but it has been reliable through all of the torture I put it through. I usually have 5 devices connected to it:
Windows 7 Computer = WIRED (On almost always)
WinXP Pro Computer = WIRED (On half as much)
Wii/Blu-Ray Player = WIRED (On a 1/8 of the time with single CAT5 switched between the two when in use)
2 x Google Nexus S = WIRELESS (WiFi is always set to ON on these phones because T-Mobile doesn't offer stable 3G in my area)
My wife and I want to start playing Tribes Ascend together and I want to optimize the router for FPS gameplay, or even just gameplay in general. I am familiar with Port Forwarding but the Belkin does NOT make it plain and simple. I don't think port forwarding is necessary for Tribes Ascend but I've read that "port forwarding helps tremendously no matter whether it is needed or not." (confirm or deny) I am sure there are things I can do to optimize my router for gaming through wired connections seeing as I don't care for wireless gaming, it's just plain stupid to game on a wireless connection.
Some other information that might help:
I have a Linksys CM100 Cable Modem running Comcast Hi-Speed Cable Internet.
If there is something else I may have failed to mention I am sorry. I will gladly edit my post when that info is divulged.
