looks good..

Hi guys,

 

I'm considering buying a new router since our old one doesnt support 120 mb/s wireless.

Do you guys know some good reliable routers from around 50 euro's, (70  us dollars) that can deliver good bandwidth.

I am not very familiar myself with routers

 

thanks in advance,

I've had nothing but problems trying to run games with wireless. Unless nobody else is using the internet(very rare) I usually get unplayable pings(400ms).

How far is this router going to be from your computer in a straight line distance? What's in between?

Can your computer connect to a 5GHz band? it would reduce interference but if the router is far or many walls between 5GHz band might not be a good option.

You can check the Netgear N300 for single band or go to the N600 that supports dual band if you plan to upgrade your wifi card.

Those are for some reason not available in my country, I think I might have found a good alternative. do you guys know if the 

D-Link DGL-4500 Extreme-N 

is a good router?
