the most stable/reliable WiFi modem for gaming

[Davy_b]

hi guys hoping someone can recommend a good wifi modem , currently i only have the standard eircom (irish ISP ) one and its terrible its a zyxel . i use it for gaming and at least 2-3 times a night i get kicked from games . and i loose all internet , until i reset the router and then its perfect again for hours .


so can anyone recommend a good wifi router , my internet speeds are only 7-8Mb so speed isnt a big concern , but it needs to be stable and reliable , i got a belkin N750 play , but it dropped the connection every 30 mins just for a few seconds , apparently a commonish problem , but it ment i was kicked from the game i was playing , not good when your playing arma / dayz and your the chopper pilot for a group of guys that spent a week getting gear in game only to loose it to my dodgy connection , i got some abuse when i logged back in

I don't think there's any domestic router that will give you perfectly stable wireless connection for gaming. Occasional drop outs are always going to happen. Even if someone recommends a decent wireless router there's still a chance you'll have the same problems. The N750 is fairly high end as far as domestic routers go. It might not even be the router at fault but you're WLAN adapter causing the issue. There are many things that can affect the quality of a wireless connection, such as background interference.

If stability is paramount then I'd suggest connecting via Ethernet. If laying a cable isn't an option then maybe consider power socket adapters. It'll be far better in terms of reliability anyway and you won't get any unexpected drops.

The wi-fi on the Asus RT-N66U has been rock solid for me.

If you have a decent ADSL modem, just keep it and use it in modem only mode. You can then bridge the Asus as a fancy wi-fi router
