Routers that are supposedly geared towards gaming

Like Linksys' "Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router"



Does this shit really deliver the high speed that a wired connection would? That's a fucking radar dish on top.

I never thought it was the speed that killed wireless gaming, but the connectivity.  Mine loses connection quite often.  Gay.

yeah I think the lag is caused by packet loss, pretty much the only real choice for online games that don't have turn-based gameplay is wired.  Which would explain why nintendo won't put a fucking ethernet port on wii because they don't expect you to play anything online.

I use the apple airport extreeme basestation. Ps3 SMS x360 plugged to the switch with about 4-6 wireless devices using it.

No problems here.

I use the new flat model, not the old rounded model.
