Wireless Router Recommendations

garetjax · July 1st, 2008

So my old router took a dump on me, so I had to borrow a friend's Linksys for the time being. I figured that this may be a good time to invest in a quality wireless router.

I have three computers, PS3, Wii, and one notebook (which has 802.11 a/g/n wireless capability). I'd like the desktop machines to be wired (as the wiring is in place already) and the notebook to be wireless (obviously). I'll most likely buy wireless adapters for the Wii and PS3 when funds are available in the future.

I like Linksys and D-Link, price is around $100 or so.

Or, could I get away with just purchasing one of those USB 2.0 wireless adapter thingees, plug it into one of my wired desktop machines and go that route? All I need wireless for is my notebook, PS3, and Wii.

D-link DIR-655, $120 at the egg. Networking is awesome today!

That D-Link DIR-655 router you guys are recommending, do you guys own this same router in your home or office? How does it handle online gaming and heavy file transfers via wireless?
