any suggestions, im not looking to go wireless, im looking for a real good wired gaming router

D-Link DGL-4100.

I'd go with netgear, they have excellent connection stability and have a nice built in firewall, also ever consider powerline?

For a few bucks more.....go for the DGL-4300 by D-link. Gives you wireless if you need it later....and the wireless can be turned off.

I worded for d-link technical support for over a year. There are alot of d-link products that really suck! But fortunately, the DGL-4300 really is awesome! I have one and it is great.

- 4 gigabit switch
- 5db antenna (Really improves wireless performance, 2db anntenna is the standard crap on all other routers out there)
- Gamefuel technology really works and is not a gimmick (Prioritizes game packets to decrease latency)

that's true, all wireless routers can be hardwired too, I hardwired my computers up to a nice netgear 108mbps router, and leave the others wireless and get perfect 108mbps on the wireless, and still retain excellent on the wired too, you can always do wpa-ask encryption to make sure no one can abuse your network

I would stay away from EoP (Ethernet of power) It cause massive electrical distortion. It's one of the big reason there has not been alot of electric companies selling internet connections.

but powerline have the stability of wired connections, with the advantages of wireless

I agree they work well, but they screw up every other wireless appliance bigtime. Way worse then a WiFI signal. Wireless telephones would tremdously suffer, and especially the radio. If even screws with satilite TV.

that's why you don't make the rest wireless

We are getting off topic now. He doesn't even really care about the wireless part.

Even if the DGL-4300 (D-link) didn't have wireless, it still rocks!
You can get the DGL-4100, but for the $20, i would get the DGL-4300.

I'd just get whatever's cheapest for wired that has a good firewall built in

I disagree with getting the cheapest wired router! QoS is improtant, Configurability of firewall (All routers has the same firewall, it there configurability thats important), Gigabit switch for LAN parties! The list goes on!

Plus the amount of memory cache is important too! DGL-4300 and 4100 have 8mbs, standard crap has 2 at the most!

I've used Linksys, US robotics, and regular D-link DI-624. And my DGL-4300 is so much more reliable, stable and better performing then all of them. Plus the User Inferface is awesome. Tons of configurabiliy!

I have used a couple of netgear routers, wired and wireless, and they have all pleased me, here's a netgear with a kvm switch that you really want

There are tons of positive reviews on the DGL-4300.

With this beast "Lag is no longer a excuse!"

On the first review, it rapes the netgear.

yeah, but that thing is $116 according to the second review, compared to only $60 for netgear's 108mbps super g that I have which is amazing
