just wondering..does DMZ will increase the latency for online gaming??

No... but it's not recommended to configure your XBOX as DMZ.....

Bro you know how to open NAT type? Mine is still moderate.

Actually you can set DMZ for Xbox360, bcoz its not hackable like a PC (Never put pc on DMZ). Putting yr Xbox360 ip on DMZ would get you Open NAT type.

@Navigator its safe dont worry

so does it increase the latency?

No it does not. To open up NAT just go search the article on how to free the necessary port for XBOX LIVE. My router is XBOX Live certified XD

@IccyAsd: I'm not convinced that it's safe to put anything that connect to public network to DMZ. Not even if it's a console that is not supposed to have any network exploit.

hmm..really? i read an article from here internet optimisation
it said that the latency can be increased and ping also can be reduced

just curious about this cuz i've been so frustrated that the opponent always left out because of lower latency

If you are comparing both Open Nat Type (DMZ or proper Port Forwarding) there is no increase in Latency, but still it only depends on certain games. Most FPS/Arcade VS game need you to be on Open Nat type to have good connection, it would speed up your player search compare to moderate or restricted Nat Type.

@Navigator: Logically the time you spend on the console "On" its too short to get hack, even if you get hacked you lose nothing.

hmm..i play fifa 13 right now..latency always two bar and always disconnected from EA..i dont what is the problem..the connection or EA servers

Well, I just don't feel easy on running any DMZ publicly.... and Gamerscore & Microsoft point is a big thing to loose. or if someone did something for my console to get banned...

I think yur latency is not because of DMZ even if it increase latency, it's not that dramatic......

Anyway you may use the port forwarding via XBOX LIVE Support instruction instead of DMZ if you seriously feel DMZ is increasing your latency. no harm in doing it if you router have a "reset" button.

If your peers are to far away i.e. at US, that might be the reason of high latency and lately TM also having some stability issue.... My connection with a friend at kajang can get dropped when playing Spartan Ops....

i just wondering if there is any way that can give better connection..btw right now i'm using wifi to play online..that could be the major reason ..still looking how to extend the ethernet cable

i m using wlan N as xbl connection, dont seem to have any latency issue, also my port has been forwarded.

It's not yur wifi causing lag dude as we all running on wifi. No one wants a cable to run around da house.

The only thing you need to do now is try disable DMZ & do port forwarding. People around here playing on LIVE even before the launch of XBOX360. Their suggestion worth a try.

i thought everbody try so hard to make a wired connection.. does unifi default router use wlan N?? i will try the portforwarding stuff

Unifi router signal strength sux. You may change to other router. There're some brand supporting Unifi infra

if u all NAT is not open, just go test connection saja, after tat yr NAT will open .. for streamyx only.. 3g is moderate punya..

Not all router can respond to that test connection... some router need to configure manually....

unifi issue 4 items. 1 modem, 1 router and the rest of the items i dont give a fark.

swapping the router is straight forward. its a DIR615 default router and "OK" router dont expect it to be better than gaming routers.

well, on unifi, you don hv much choice on routers isn't it?

tried portforwarding..it ended my xbl turn moderate?? maybe i'm doing something wrong about the port range..

change to another router? good idea but maybe later..right now doesnt have enough money
