Okay, well i've decided that im going to buy a new router.. so, heres my list of 'needs'

- Xbox 'mode'
- Simple to use
- Easily set up
- Decent range
- Decent transfer speeds

Not needed, but would be nice

- little screen on router that shows speeds, status's ect (Like the Belkin N1 Vision)
- USB storage thing in the back to create a networking HDD (Like the N1 Vision)

BUT the N1 is a little expensive and you need certain adaptors to get full speeds from it.

Any idea?

A Netgear or Linksys branded router. I don't know about a screen.

Xbox Mode will be the data priorities (I forgot the actual name) which most routers have where you give traffic priority, like for us I have web access as priority 1, games consoles 2 and torrents 3.

The screen is just a gimmick IMO.

I got the N1 vision its great.

*****; QoS you talking about?

I like the screen as it shows whos connected to my network, and i can easily turn wireless/guest access on and off

I have a D-Link, never faulted for me. It's not got a screen or anything fancy but I use it for Xbox, laptop and main PC downstairs. I always get good speeds on both laptop and xbox.
