Touchspeed 330 - What should I upgrade to?

[bloodline76]

I am currently using a touchspeed 330 modem which came with my broadband supplier. It has serve me well getting good speeds over the years but it is beginning to play up.

So what should I get as an upgrade from this. I am not interested in wireless so I wired modem/router is what I am after.

I do not know anything about routers or what they offer over a modem so can someone put me in the right direction? I mainly use it for gaming so is a router the better option?

And is usb the best way to connect?

Thanks

Ok so which do you recommend that I get. I dont mind getting wireless just though a wired one would be better connection.

My only problem is that I dont want to spend too much money on it as I have only just upgraded some parts and the misses wouldnt be too happy

Thanks for all your advice so far. Appreciated!
