What wired router should I get?

[timmay586]

I've just replaced an old router which would lose internet connection every time I played World of Warcraft or Counter-Strike: Source. The new one, a Linksys, fixes the WoW issue but still loses connection every time I play CSS, as well as disconnecting me from AIM every 10-15 minutes. I took my computer to a friend's house and used his wireless router and everything worked perfectly, so I know the problem is with the router. Can anyone recommend a good dependable wired router that won't have these problems?

I have an old D-link 704 wired router that has worked flawlessly for 2.5 years. I have had to reboot it once. They still make them in a P and UP versions. The D-link store has them for $60. I'm sure you could find them cheaper elsewhere.

I don't know what class (I don't know what possible differences there could be), I don't need lots of features, I just need one that works and supports at least 3 (4 or 5 would be preferable) computers and a 100 mbps connection. I'll look into the D-link. Any other ideas?

If you do not have any special needs you should buy the Cheapest Wired Router that you can get.

Otherwise you need to define your needs and look through Data Sheets to find the one that would work for you.
