(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay so I can't take it anymore with my router. Had it for 5 and a half years, and it's on it's last legs! Internet downloads are slow, it has lag spikes everyday, and often disconnects from internet. It's a Linkysys and here's more info about it: You must login or register to view this content.

Anyway around 4pm today I'm going to buy one. However I need your help! What's a good router that has a long lifetime, fit to work with a ps3 and 3 computers running at the same time, and I don't really care what the price is (however under $200 would be nice).

So far this router has my attention: You must login or register to view this content.

Tell me if that above router is any good and tell me your recommendations, thanks Smile

Best connection out there
(xfinity comcast)

Tried hella fast


You can set up a WEP key password so when your neighbors try to use your WI-FI they'll need your code. :p

Make sure you get the right one for your connection. I have bought 2 routers that had ethernet ports as the internet connection instead of the thinner dsl cable. /facepalm

I would recommend Linksys as they are supposed to be the best with port forwarding (Getting open nat)

Well i had a bad luck with Linksys.I would personally avoid Linksys because their customer service sucks and every time i had a problem i would call them and they would charge me $30 to get into my computer and fix the problem, and d-Link. D-Link tend to load on way more features than the hardware can support, not to mention they tend to be a bit skimpy on the RAM.I eventually bought the Netgear - N300 Wireless-N Router with Gigabit quick and easy to set-up but didn't really do anything to improve internet speed and never had problem since then, so my advice to you is buy Netgear - N300 Wireless-N Router with Gigabit for like $75 or upgrade and get the one you want which is like 150$
