Yes, the type of router you use for running Xbox Live does matter. If your router is incompatible it can stop you from playing Live altogether, or, if it does let you play, you can have a Closed or Moderate NAT instead of an Open NAT, which is ideal. Having a Closed or Moderate NAT can stop you from joining certain parties and playing with certain people online. I have attached a link to a list of Approved Routers for Xbox Live. Hope this helped.
