Greetings pilots.

Well, finally got broadband out here, through a radio tower only 1/4 mile from house. Great signal and all BUT.........this system comes with a router from the company that they have pass coded to keep us idiots from opening ports and wreaking havoc!

They say I can call them with the ports I need opened up for whatever games I may want to play, but I don't like this idea if I get in to on line gaming much...other than FS9 and CFS2.

I can buy my own router according to them and have free acces.

My question is, what is a good router? By this I mean fairly easy to understand when trying to open up ports for online gaming with the various games?

I know there are many out there, and maybe they are all the same............DIFFICULT for us newbs to broadband/router/firewall set up.

Any advice in this area would be appreciated.

I have gone over eno's posts several times, and probably will many more times until I get the hang of what I am doing.

Nice job by the way eno!

Thanks Pilots!!
