recommend me a N router
 

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a router, I am using the Virgin Media 50Mb, so it needs to be an N router.

At the moment I am using it for

2x PC's both wired.
1x XBox 360 Wired but may go wireless 1 day to put it downstairs.
1x Laptop wireless via Netgear N USB adapter.

I currently have the Netgear WNR2000 but it seems to be slowing down browsing.

Budget: £85 maybe £90

Was looking at the Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Cable/DSL Gigabit Router what do you think to that?

Hay up big gaz, I used to use the WNR2000 which performed v/well wired but was poor IMO for wireless, and after trying the free D-link from VM decided that was no better.

I purchased the Linksys WRT610N, which might be a little above your price range but seems to be servicing 2x Xbox's, 1 x PS3, 1 Laptop and 1PC pretty well.

This is also a simultaneous dual band router broadcasting at 2.4 and 5 Hz at the same time.

I nearly bought the N1 Vision but the bloke in the shop said they had had a lot come back with failures of some sort, which put me off.

Not only that I'd read a bit about people having problems getting a decent NAT when on Xbox Live.

I cant confirm nor deny this but half the time you go off word of mouth,

All I can say is when I picked up the Linksys and went to the till to pay for it, the girl behind the till said "Ive got one of those and theyre good" and she was a gamer too albeit PC format.

The only additional advice I can give is, mine got hacked within 24 hours of me installing it, because I didn't change the name and password to access the router log in web page.

So one hard reset later and a secure password and all has been well ever since.
