Best Wireless N Routers for Gaming??

[Phobia]

Hey Guys

I just switched to 30 Meg down Fiber. Since Fiber does not use a Modem, all you need is a router. I was looking to go wireless finally since all my consoles have built in wireless (Xbox Slim & PS3). I want to go with the Wireless N router.

What is everyone using and how have your speeds been. I have always been hardline.

Basically looking for a recommendation.

Thanks Guys

Linksys E3000

Been using it since last summer, works great for me, no lag at all. Can even get a strong signal in my back yard. Price has come down a lot, when I bought it was $200, now it is $160.

Netgear is a good brand. N plus g versions that boost for gaming. I have not had any problems and the wireless range is wider and stronger that my old, old 2005 router.(link-sys)

After doing some research into this it looks like Microsoft messed up.

The new Xbox Slim has built in Wireless N - but it is only on the 2.4 Ghz band. So having a dual band router is really a waste because you can't take advantage of the 5ghz band.

To make matters even worse, the old xbox consoles with the wireless adapters offer wireless signal in both the 2.4 & 5 ghz range. So technically speaking the Xbox slim took steps backwards.

So considering this short site, I think I am going to have to select a single band router just because I won't be able to utilize the dual with my consoles.

Here is a article for anyone that wants to read about it

So with all that said I am thinking about the D-link DIR-655 Router.

I have that D-Link. Personally, have not had one single problem in over a year. Haven't had a problem with ping or hitting DL/UL caps.

I have d-link dgl-4500 gaming router. Its been perfect, we have 2 computers, that stream netflix, one being a media center, 5 laptops and whoever comes in with their laptops, 3 xbox's, 2 ps3's and my roommates are always on it.

I have a 2500 sq ft house and goes around perfect every inch of the house.

Netgear Dual Band and it works with every type of modem there is! Best by far and cost efficient.

I love my AirPort Extreme. Granted I don't play online a lot, but it's worked great when I do.
