Re: Motorola WR850G w/ 6.1.4 Firmware and DNS server issue said by Boomer86:I'm also using FW 6.1.4; just loaned the router (v.1, IIRC) out to a friend with an Xbox 360 and they're having trouble connecting to XBox Live. Tempted to try DD-WRT; think it will help? I don't know the answer, but I had the same problem with my better half's son, who brought over his 360 and could not get it to connect through the router. Plugging the 360 directly into the cable modem work. At his dad's house, they have a different router and it works fine. (This is via ethernet, not wireless, BTW.) I did find some threads out there about this modem and the 360, but none really helped. (Most were unsolved, but I don't think any mentioned trying the DD-WRT firmware.) Since DD-WRT is supposedly better, I can't see the harm in trying it.
I am curious about one thing in DD-WRT though: can it still filter out MAC addresses for wireless? Right now, I have the router set up to accept connections only from approved MAC addresses (it's under the "Filters" tab). If it can do this easily, I'll be happy. |
