I can connect to the Playstation Network just fine, and download things at a good speed, but playing games is virtually impossible. Bell recently sent me a new router (tried using the old one to solidify my problem, and it's infinitely worse), and the person who promoted it over the phone told me that this new router has top gaming speed for the 360 and ps3. It's called the 2wire.

I have several online games, and when I try searching for games, my problem is always the same. I'm only able to find a small number of rooms, and they're all laggy as heck. They're laggy to the point that I can rarely ever join them. And on the very rare occasion that I do join, it's laggy to the point where it's just about unplayable.

Wired Connection
UPnP Not Available
NAT Type Type 2

Ok, I was just on the phone with Bell, and as I already knew, my connection speed is just fine. He then linked me with their gaming specialist. He then told me that he's only trained for giving support for X-Box live.

From what I can gather, Bell and X-Box have some kind of exclusive deal going on. It's not so much that that perturbs me, but that the lady on the phone specifically told me that the new router they were sending me offers optimal support for the Playstation 3. It seems like Bell specifically don't want me on the Playstation Network at all, in favor of X-Box Live.

I can't seem to find where I would be able to adjust any of this.

i'm on a page right now that looks like this

Following your advice, and Port Forwarding for the 2 Wire 2701HG-G

I made the following changes.

UDP 10070


Still no improvements

Somebody told me to enable DMZ mode. Still nothing. I feel like I'm out of options now.

After doing some research, I think this is all entirely because 2wire routers don't support upnp.
