Router spec!

I'm needing a new router / ADSL modem, old one has given up the ghost.

Needs to have an inbuilt ADSL/ADSL2 modem, and it used for gaming, but mostly P2P traffic, and X360. Would ideally like to play Xbox whilst PC is downloading torrents (so some form of QoS is required).

Looking at Zoom X6 or D-Link DIR-655 just now, but would like to spend ~£40-£60 if possible.....

Nobody?! Have looked at a DrayTek 2800VG as well, although it's pretty dear, looks like it might be ideal for gaming....

Have a look at the Linksys WAG200G or WAG54GS.

Not sure how people rate the QoS on it, but it seems to work for me.

I have the WAG54GS first one gave up on me got it replaced works really well on wireless once configured correctly, can also say it works well with torrents too.

Thanks for the replies.

What is the difference between the 2 routers?

The only difference I know of is one has SpeedBoost on the Wireless (54GS)
