Spec me a router

petemyster · 16 Jan 2009 at 15:26

hey, had a speedtouch 510 which as just died on me. So I need a new router, and I was wondering if you guys have any reccomendations?

I have 4 xp latops, 1 vista, 1 wii, and a DS (all wireless connected), so the router needs to be modern and fast. I also do quite a bit of online gaming, so it needs to be able to be compatibile with other routers etc.

thanks in advance

D-Link DIR-655,had this for a week now and havent had any probs was a doddle to setup aswell.

I have been running a Belkin F5D7633UK4A for quite some time now and its been flawless.

Good QOS and very regularly I'm gaming online when the missus has torrents/newsgroups open.

It has never overheated as some have said and it works great streaming HD through it.

The price has dropped pretty well also.
