So far, so good. I've been able to get Diablo II and all of the MSN functions including video and remote assistance to work through it. I wasn't able to get AOE II to connect to a game over the Internet with both computers like I was Diablo II, though. I'll have to poke around and find out what the problem is.
Note that tracert and other apps fail with this firmware. It is only so-so as an upgrade and UPnP isn't fully realized yet. A good site for info on this router is http://www.dslreports.com/forum/equip,16
