Best router for gaming

[N1S]

i have been getting a good few lag spikes when gaming, i am on the virgin 20mb fiber optic.
i tried removing the router and all the spikes and lag dissapeared but i need the router for the misses laptop.

whats the best router to do the job as i suspect the d-link 524 is on the way out

are you sure the spikes weren't due to your missus using the web? Streaming vids can cause a noticable spike.

dont think so as it does it even when the laptop is off

d-link would be something to avoid anyway, linksys WRT54G + ddwrt or tomato.

I setup QoS on mine and its nice for gaming.

Wrt54gl + tomato, if you need N and gig lan buy an access point and a gig switch to plug in.
