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.
Well we get 7mbps and one of the ps3's is wired but still loses connection and the other two are upstairs but one is wired through the power plug things and the other one hardly picks up connection half the time the house is a normal 3 bed house but we have the same problem when ever we connect an iPhone or laptop I was wondering if we bought a router with a 300mbps transfer speed would it make a difference
