Hi,
I currently run a netgear dg834gt router to share our measly 1.5mb (on average) connection with the rest of the family. However, whenever i try to game online i get terrible lag spikes when people use the wireless to load web pages, etc. I'm assuming this is due to the web page request using all the bandwidth leaving the game to wither up and die
Has anyone had any experience with any routers using QoS (intelligent proroty, etc)? I've been eyeing up some thing along the lines of the D-Link DIR-650 but I'm not sure if this would help at all - do any of the Linksys boxes with custom firmware/linux offer anything like this?
Any help would be appreciated, started getting on my ****.
