best router for xbox 360

[lotz6996]

i need to get a new router with wireless for 2 laptops, 1 destop, and up to 2 xbox 360s. what would be the best one for less than $150?

 

[R3dline]

i bought one a best buy a year or so ago, called "zoom" it was pretty decent, i ran 2 laptops, and my xbox on it, no lag -shrug

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

150 is a great range for wireless routing. I'd go the D-Link route.

I'd go with this router:

Thats one of the most reliable routers I've ever ran. What issues are you having with it? Internet dropping?

Are you doing it wireless or going through the Ethernet?

2 computers (laptop/desktop)
a xbox 360
and my itouch

i live with my brother 1 xbox 360 and a computer,and 3 friends thats the other 2 360s and the 2 computers

 

[LowNotSlow]

My D-Link took a s**t after 6 months, then I replaced it with a Lynksys and that one took a s**t (8 months later) now I have a Belkin and it's working flawlessly after 2 months.

f**king hate routers at this point.

 

[josh_schock]

lol ya. i have belkin as well. its been good so far, 2 lap tops 1 desktop xbox 360, dS, itouch on it.

but its actually more like... my computer to verizon wireless router to belkin router to everything else lol

 

[jordan00711]

belkin ftw lol

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

my computer to verizon wireless router to belkin router to everything else lol

Wait, what?

So you have a internet connection coming into your computer, which then goes out to the Verizon Wireless Router (Which is actually the modem AND router) that THEN goes to a router?

You know all you have to do is hook the Verizon modem up to the phoneline/fiber optic, set it to bridge mode, hook it up to your Belkin and you're good, RIGHT?

 

[lotz6996]

it drops internet both wirelessly and hardlined. the internet icon doesnt even come on on the router itself. it did this when i had it at school, then i brought it home and hooked it up and it worked until we had a power outage one afternoon, and havent been able to get internet on it since.

i love it when people try and explain router....its so funny..

i have a Linksys and i hate it...

it was ok for a while... but now it seems its wireless range has dropped.

for 3 years it ran the original Linksys firmware... but then it didnt have enough slots to open ports.. so... i reflashed it with tomato... its fine now as far as operation on the wired side... but the wireless has seem to drop range by half... and it hasnt moved in 6 months...

wrt54g is the best router to use with the xbox 360, Microsoft recommended it a few years ago, but they have never updated their recommendation list in years.
