What router to buy?

[Hawley]

So, basically, I want internet on my laptop and xbox at the same time. I'm tired of having to move cables and restart my modem.

I've used a router before, but every time I would play on my xbox, I would get disconnected from multiplayer lobbies. I need one that doesn't do this.

I get <20MB/s, so slow internet isn't my problem. Money is no object. Could someone please give me a recommendation?

NetGear.

They should be at any walmart, bestbuy, etc.

Wouldn't you need the Xbox router too?
Unless you use an ethernet cable.
Most routers allow XBL multiplayer.

Most routers allow XBL multiplayer.

All should....

I use the D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router, it works great for me, no problems so far. Only problem was that it was annoying to setup (had quite a few problems in the installation). I don't know if the gaming one is overkill or not. And the Netgear one... No idea.

Linksys? Works good for me.

I got a fatass Belkin router. I've also had good way with Netgear. My pc and xbox are right next to each other and I just have a second Gigabit PCI card that i plug into the xbox. then bridge the connections on my computer.. im almost 100% positive theres a better way to explain it though

Netgear router. Most reliable. Awesome. Easy to use.

I have the Linksys Wireless G lol
cheap and works well.

I can play computer, use a laptop, and play xbox without problems.

I've had a Linksys G router before. That's the one that gave me problems.

Go to Wal-Mart and buy a Linksys WRT $50 router and you'll never have a problem.

If you need any help I'll teamview into your pc and do it for you.

I don't trust Linksys anymore. I want the top of the line router.
