Hi!
So. I picked up a RB750GL for home use.
As we cannot run wires (renting) I took some old WRT54Gs with DD-WRT and configured them as bridges so the RB has my roomate's AP plugged in, and a WRT54G as an AP which I have bridged with another WRT54G in another room for connecting my wired devices to.
So, the connections work and performance doesn't seem to be too bad.
My current issue that I am fighting with is NAT, UPnP and 2 Xbox 360s.
The route from Xbox to WAN is
Xbox
WRT54g Bridge
WRT54g AP
RB
WAN
the roomate's xbox to WAN is
Xbox (wifi)
roomate AP
RB
WAN
I'm guessing the NAT issues may be due to the multiple devices that are being passed through?
I've read through the extensive thread regarding NAT and UPnP specific to the Xbox and tried most of the things I could handle.
Attempts to establish a DMZ failed as well, even if they had not that would not solve problems for more than 1 system.

I know I've got redundant access points and plan to remove the roomate's AP to make things less complicated (maybe).
The ultimate goal was to configure bandwidth monitoring and prioritization so things like VOIP and web traffic get priority and unmarked traffic gets pushed to the bottom of the queue. If there are any benefits to segmenting our personal devices from one another I would consider going that route. Had a purchased a beefier RB I would've liked to set up a virtual instance of a router for my roomate to control what he wants.
So I think I may be looking at things in just one way. Is there a more optimal setup?
I'll be glad to give more information is necessary!
If someone could point me in the right general direction I would appreciate it!
