New router needed.

Hey guys

My router just packed up so need a new one that is good for xbox 360 and wired like this old Linksys and not too hard to set up or cost too much either.

Any suggestions?

Re: New router needed.

If you're connecting from XBox to ther router with a cable then I'd go for anything that will take the DD-WRT firmware. I have a WRT54GL which has served me well for years and was extremely reliable once I'd replaced the stock Linksys firmware.

If you're likely to want to connect your XBox wirelessly at any point then I'd be more inclined to go with an 802.11n router. I'm not particularly clued up on what's available in this standard. I would still offer the same advice regarding firmware though - go for something compatible with DD-WRT.
