Reliable Router...
Well it seems my Linksys, BEFSR41 V3 completely flatlined on me. No matter what settings I try, no DNS entries work. Even when connected straight from the PC to modem, the DNS settings that I'm using are correct. Anyway, I ended up tossing it across the kitchen & it broke into a thousand pieces. Not as sturdy as I thought but whatever, it's a Linksys. Any recommendations for a capable, reliable and working router will be greatly appreciated. Oh and just in case anyone is wondering, I'll be using the router for gaming mostly.
How ya doing, buddy? |

I've found to my cost that Linksys products aren't well built or reliable. I should've known better; they are a division of Cisco Systems after all V_V. I've been using a Netgear router for a while now; excellent quality in comparison and a lot more reliable. It also seems more tolerant of poor line quality. I'm sure you could find a router they produce specific to gaming.

I've been using D-Link gear with little to no issues for a while now. In fact I set one up today and had it working like a charm with 2 computers LAN, and wireless WEP pass protection for 3 laptops (1 MacBook, 2 Windows) all set up easy and quickly. Replaced a LinkSys that wouldn't work with OSX. Picked it up for $49 at OfficeMax.
Didnt check on the gaming end of things but the 192.168.0.1 settings wizard had many options. I have had great success with DLink stuff, so I recommend them.

Appreciate the recommendations and well in short, I went ahead with a D-Link router. The netgear had too much of a Wii theme going there and this D-Link gaming router had plenty of positive feedback.
