    Would any of the guys using the linksys routers happen to use ib as their broker?

    I'm planning to move to ib, but noticed that the demo doesnt run behind my analogx proxy server. Which makes me want to find out if ib's platform works behind a router (and if the firewall on the linksys has to be turned off or not) for the platform to work.

    By the way, how has ib's performance been lately?

    thanks.

    Thanks GG,

    Is GREED really good?

    Anyways, that's good to hear... I've noticed however, that a lot of complaints have come over the forums about IB's downtime lately. Any thoughts?

    Does this affect all accounts, or just stocks, just futures? How has your experience been lately?

    Thanks again.

  6. Try a route-switch combined. You can get one with 4 ports for less than $100.
