Hi everybody, my 1st post for a little while now, here goes.
For the last 5 years or so, I have been using internet connection sharing through a USB modem on the main computer with the permanent internet connection, and when my dad decides to switch it off, I rob it and use it directly on mine for the rest of the night ![]() But times are changing, I am moving my Xbox 360 in my room soon and want to go on the internet with it. My brother in the next room wants his wii online, wireless (802.11b/g). I have a <1mtr streight through cable for my PC to the router, a 7-8mtr crossover one which leads to my other PC downstairs and a 5 mtr streight through cable which came out my Xbox 360 packaging and will connect to my Xbox 360 console. ![]() I am on a high budget, £80-£100 max but if I can get a good enough one for less, I will do that. The router must be: Wireless b/g compatible 4 Wired ports (preferably autosense ones, but not absolutely necessary) Work with Windows XP Home Edition and Vista Ultimate x64 Edition. Have a built in modem so I don't have to buy a seperate RJ-45 Modem. Work with Xbox 360 LIVE (no conflicting) Relatively easy to set up I need some suggestions please, on any good routers, i.e. ones that are good for gaming, don't cause lag / generally slow and won't die on me after a couple of years of use. I have heard mixed stories about NETGEAR's, some good, some bad. Linksys I have heard are superb and Dlink have made an officially Vista compatible router. Thanks in advance for your advice ![]()
