Highend gaming routers....
net TEW-633GR, Wireless N with 3 antenna, QoS, gigabit lan ports for $109
A Linksys WRT310N - Wireless-N Gigabit Router with similar features at $130. and the D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router, also gigabit lan ports, Wireless N w/3 antenna, it's own version of QoS that will allow priority to gaming traffic over downloads, etc. Price is $180 Does anyone have one of the three or a better option? I'm not concerned about the price *(under $200), I want the best one I can find... though I'm not interested in dumping $700 on a commercial grade router ![]()

Don't know but I can tell you I have had bad luck with d-link stuff and stay away from it now. I had a dlink wirless card that made my computer at the time not boot and the only way to get the computer to work again was to remove the card (you have no idea how much time I wasted before I discovered that that was the reason the system wouldn't boot
![]() I've never had any trouble with any linksys stuff I've had on the other hand. |

I thought my old wireless-B router was the shiznit.

Well, over the years I've gone through D-Link, Netgear, Linksys, and U-Gate routers.
I've had both good and bad experiences with virtually all brands.\ Best buy is selling the Linksys for $150 while my 'buddy' has it for $130. They also have the D-Link but they want $199 compared to the online price of $180. The guy who has the linksys in stock swears by the Trendnet. I really want something that provides priority for gaming over file transfers since my [censored] kids have a bad habit of leaving a torrent running while I'm trying to play call of duty 4.

You can take D-Link, Linksys, and many other home brand routers and install a Linux based firmware that will make the device much more robust from all the news articles I have read to support this. I have not tried it myself, but it might be cool (If you have one of these devices already) to give it a whirl.
