Anybody know if this is any good with the PS3?

Thanks!

Tech info states no upnp support .... although it's not always the best thing to have , a router without upnp support to me would be useless. Also no WDS, so bridging will not be possible.

Other then that it looks fine, it really depends on how you plan to use your router.

Hmm... ok then. I might have to look for another one then.

It's best to have it, as I'm guessing it's used for things like FIFA, CoD, etc.

You dont need UPnP. As it has a DMZ for PS3 and Port forwarding for PCs.

upnp is for lazy people who can't set up a network then complain when they can't connect to certain game servers... upnp isn't needed as a requirement for a router.

Although i agree that you do not need upnp i do not agree that a router does not come with it as a standard that can be deselected.

Not every one is a network / router guru and this is where upnp comes in handy for those users.

As for recommending using the DMZ .... That should only be used if no other alternative is available.

So let me refrase my opinion to the OP ....

If you are a happy router user and know your way around port forwarding and port triggering then yes it is a decent router although you can probably get one cheaper.

This router does support UPnP

[LethalUK]

Alright then, thanks everyone!

It might not be the cheapest, but it has loads of features and looks a good solution!

You might also look at the DGN3500

The primary difference is one is dual band(DGND3300)  while the DGN3500 has Gigabit ethernet ports and auto sensing power management.

I don't know why it's not mentioned with the DGND3300 but both routers support Readyshare where you can connect a USB external hard drive (Fat16/32 &NTFS) and allow access from all the computers via http & ftp

My brother has the DGND3300 and the wireless is great for PS3.  

It definitely has UPnP.

I had the DGN3500 and have now returned it, it has a few features missing compared to the DGND3300 like QoS and more port options and dual wireless.
