    I have a QOS switch - my xbox360 still lags out...

    maybe 2-3 years. We've only had maybe 2 episodes of loss of service, though we do have a generator and of course UPS for power outages. Overall I've noted no difference at all compared with "normal" phone - I certainly can't tell the difference in call quality.

    I have a QOS switch - my xbox360 still lags out...

    I'm on a package with cable modem/cable tv/and phone. I'm paying ~ 145/month now and it's going up to around 180 with taxes so it's about $35/month more to get the speed (I have turbo roadrunner now which I get about 15d/0.7 up)

    Well so far I have had resounding success with this solution. I was able to install the e4200 router easily (had to hook ethernet directly from my mac pro to the router rather than going through a switch to get it recognized, but otherwise very smooth), and they actually had mac supported...

    I have a QOS switch - my xbox360 still lags out...

    no reply thus far - one thing I've considered, I know switches are only managing traffic across it's own ports - my Airport Extreme is the actual router, which then goes to the cable modem. Is it possible that the switch is not at all overwhelmed with LAN traffic but sending all upload...

    I have a QOS switch - my xbox360 still lags out...

    Bought a GS108T a year or so ago to try to solve the problem of lagging out when other people using other computers in the house. I have two xboxes and a number of other computers. What I =WANT= to do is make sure the xbox traffic (each wired on it's own port) gets full access to the internet...
