Well I have always had good luck with Linksys routers, you should look into one of them.
Hell if you lived close to me you could have my old Wireless N Gigabit router since I just replaced it with a new one. |
Wireless N?
If you have an old one it won't have been ratified 802.11n (assuming you don't replace your ISR every year anyway)... which means it can have problems with other tech, (though if you have had a Wii and PSP working on it then I would guess no problem)
However, I am not sure the Wii supports wirless-n, same for the PSP (I would guess newer versions like the Go do, but doubt the older ones will) which means whenever they are connected to the router it will be performing at wireless-g levels anyway. So assuming the OP wants to used the Connect 24 feature an "n" router is not worth it.

Old as in not my new one, yes it is a couple years old but I assure you it is 802.11n compatible. The only console that supports wireless N is the 360, and that because of the new adapter that recently released. Its also a Gigabit router, which the PS3 will take advantage of.

What? If the PS3 doesn't support 802.11n then it doesn't gain an advantage.
there is no such thing as a gigabit router without it being 802.11n. So if the PS3 doesn't support n it won't get an advantage from using n.... And as I said, if you use an 802.11g device on an n network the entire network is back to wireless-g speed anyway..... wireless-n is pointless until all the connected devices support it.
And a 2 year old wireless n router will have been draft n, which as long as it works for the devices you use it for is fine, but a new one is better trusted.

Being a gigabit router refers to the wired ports, which is how his PS3 is hooked up. It has nothing to do with a wireless signal.
@ bolded
That is incorrect, wireless N is backwards compatible with all other signals. Any device hooked upto it will only be limited by the wireless adapter in that device, not the other devices on the same network.
