It shouldn’t be a problem. So long as you can get an IP, your router will get one too.

 

Now playing games and other things that require open ports and an unshared connection (IE not slow) are probably going to be a problem. I had trouble with my last appt’s “included internet” and had to get my own cable connection. You might consider getting Roadrunner, they should have 1 year intro rates that’ll blow your mind.

 

 

It seemed alright playing last night. I had everything setup really fast.. they have two ways to control the router.. 1 being the web interface (more advanced) on the network and the second being a control program used for initial setup (extremely easy). I was able to setup the network password as well as setup a guest wifi. (Only thing is if you start using the web interface you can’t really use the really easy setup software anymore because they don’t play well together).

 

I have the router sitting pretty much right next to the PS3 (which is on the network) and I didn’t really notice a difference.. On my laptop I was getting 27 Mbps down with a ping of 33 on speedtest.net (I have Time Warner Cable). I don’t know if it will continue to work this well, but I am happy with it so far.
