Narrowed it down to my router being the reason i cant stay connected to game on xbox live, so need a new router. I might aswel get a wireless one due to having the Wii downstairs.

I will still be connecting the 360 and PC via ethernet to the router.

Any reccomendations? What do people on here use?

Linksys, no idea if it's any good in a techy sense but it's never missed a beat in the 14 months we've had it and been using it with 2 pc's 2 laptops and a wii.

Dave, what kind of enviornment are you in?

Do you live with your familly? Ie are there a few machines in the house all sharing an internet connection?

If you are the only one using the connection then i cant see the need for that 'gaming' router.

Live at home, router will be in my room, Wii downstairs, 1 xbox, 1 pc and potentially a PS3 downstairs soon.

Any reccomendations? Getting fucked off with having to disconnect everything when i want to play xbox.

That router is packed with features tbh, probably worth the price.

With enough 1337 Hax0r G33k skills you could probably get a lesser router to do the same jobs but would involve a lot of configing yourself.

In your circumstances i would probably go for that router tbh, pricey but a good hassle free practically out of the box solution.
