Hey guys, I'm looking for a new router, I don't know much about routers but I must be able to login to it and open ports so I get an open NAT type on Xbox, must be fast, must be able to cope with 4 computers and 2 Xboxes and must have 4-6 ethernet lead ports.
Probably Netgear / Draytek / Linksys. Also, would having a better router make your internet package better? Sky provide a really cheap low budget router that disconnects every 30 minutes, I get 14 mbs download and 0.65 upload, I do a lot of uploading a download so I dunno if someone can clear that up.
Thanks
Their router is so bad. I don't really have a budget, maybe between £70-£100+ odd. I want my moneys worth.

Routers
That's why we seize the moment, try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it cause we consider these minutes golden.

If you're actually going to be using all of those at the same time, get a Linksys. Cisco are well known for their sturdy networking products.

Linksys WRT54G.
Feature rich, very hackable with DD-WRT if you ever wanted to load custom software on, reliable, made by Cisco (who do enterprise products).
OT: I don't know if it is just us but does anyone else get through a router each year? LOLLast edited by Recursion; 20-01-2010 at 07:48 AM.

The WRT54G has wireless and N? Meh, hardly worth spending the money, too fast for a 100mb network, too slow for a 1Gb connection. He also won't notice and download slowdowns unless he is on a connection over 54mb. Originally Posted by Colin-Roberts

It seems like there is a soultion tho..It breaks the terms and conditions as using the supplied router is mandatory. This is part of the sign up that you agree to. But they can't tell, or don't care enough.
I'm perfer netgear personallyother option is to turn off the wireless on the Sky router, link it via ethernet to your Netgear and use that as an access point - this way you stay within the T&C's of Sky BB...

They can't do anything if you do use a different router. Originally Posted by lazerman

Never argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level, and beat you with experience.

You can stream HD fine over Wireless-G (did it with my PS3), and realistically if you're going to do any computer-to-computer transfers that are big enough to justify Wireless N, you'd want a cable anyway. Originally Posted by Colin-Roberts
