Re: Gaming routers.
With UPnP they all will open ports correctly.
Do you need wireless? N? Gigabit LAN ports?

Re: Gaming routers.
How do you mean "Opens game ports automatic"? Are you going to be hosting games or?

Re: Gaming routers.
Most routers with UPnP open the ports automatically. Not all of them though. They are easy to open anyways.

Re: Gaming routers.
I'm only asking as the only need to Open Ports is if you intend on hosting a game server

Re: Gaming routers.
I personally do not know of any routers that will forward ports automatically unless the server is specifically written to request a port be opened by UPNP - are we talking console gaming or PC gaming?
