Well, the D-Link is an N-class router, so you shouldn't have any problems, but for gaming its usually recommended to not use WiFi where possible (due to occasional latency/dropouts that are possible).

Are you sure it's your router and not your internet connection itself? Any N-Class router would do to be honest (they are all built to the same Wireless Specs)

Dropping connections could mean a few different things...

Where is your router located in relation to your PS3s/other Wireless Kit?
What kind (age) of house do you live in? (Older houses can suffer due to the thick walls)?
What connection speed do you get when you do speedtests from a PC/Mac?

AFAIK there isn't a "gaming" router as such, and speed is dependent on many factors. You can only guarantee pings etc within your local LAN.
