XR700 Glitching games during gameplay

So I bought this router about 3 days ago.  First to get to the admin page (192.168.1.1) took a very uncomfortably long time and makes you wonder if you have a bad unit.  Once the setup wizard actuall...

    No need.  I've spoken with the L2 team about this issue and it was resolved in the XR700 V1.0.1.10 firmware.  I can say with confidence that selecting open NAT on this version does report a full cone during testing.  I still feel as the .08 firmware seems a bit snappier in the gui where the .10 variant seems to be sluggish (especially on a router with a 1.7Ghz quad-core) but it does work as intended with all features.  Only place I've noticed an issue (and not really an issue if you don't have the topography) is when I connected the router direct to a switch, then piggy-backed the rest of my switches off that switch to various wired devices.  Instead I run wire to the individual switches where the devices are plugged in.  Good thing we have 6 LAN ports as I have 6 switches in various points in the house.  Anyway, keep up the good work boys.

      Interesting, I have not been able to get FULL CONE NAT with mine, with shipping for v10 FW. 

      What versions of browser and Java are you using to test for NAT? 

      I tried a Windows 7 laptop and a Mac Book Pro 2008. Both are not reporting FULL CONE NAT. 

      What modem is your XR700 connected too?
