I have been thinking of getting a new router for a while now. My Belkin router which is about two years old has been acting oddly for a while now. Sometimes I can't get connected to it, and the only remedy is to unplug the router and plug it back in. It happens to my computer, my roommates computer, and my DS/Wii, so I'd assume it's my router. Also, now that I have Brawl, I've been noticing either response lag (like my inputs take sometimes as much as 2 seconds to translate to on-screen), or just lag in general (sorry Naznatips). And it's kind of annoying when I'm trying to play, oh let's say Ari_Gold, and I can't dodge because it takes too long to respond. Also note that I've played Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 online, and there hardly is ever any lag at all (besides what I believe is my router) so it may just be a slight Nintendo problem which is then amplified by my poor router.
So basically I'm looking to get a new router. I know a lot of you will probably tell me to buy the wired adapter thing (or maybe you won't), but I'd like to get a new router anyway, and if I can find a good one I'm hoping that it will reduce some of these problems. Also, if the new one doesn't help, I'll probably end up hooking the wired connection through the router anyway, since that eliminates the hassle of registering my Wii with my campus.
So tell me everyone, what router do you like, why do you like it, how much does/did it cost, features, etc, etc. Also, it'd be nice to know if you use it for your Wii (or other console or gaming device).
I usually hear good things about Linksys, so two routers I was looking at were this regular one, and this beastly "gaming" one. I'm not quite sure I understand the difference between G, B, and N connections, but as long as they can work with my computer and my Wii/DS, that's all that really matters. Hopefully somebody can help me out?
Thanks.
