Looking into getting a router...

[iaustin7]

I am looking for a router than can be placed in another room, compatible with a PS3 and PSP, easy to set up, and is under $70. Does anyone have any good ideas?

My own recommendation would be any D-Link router - I don't know what prices are like in the US but I shopped around in the UK and picked up a decent one for £50.

The wireless is pretty good, the user interface is excellent and we have no trouble getting 'Open' NAT on two XBoxes and a PS3 simultaneously.

Thank you, I'll give it a look!

D-Link is a good router. The D-Link gaming router is even better but a bit more expensive.

My Linksys WRT54GL running the tomato firmware works perfectly with my 2 laptops, TiVo's, PS3, Wii and iPod Touch. I highly recommend it.

Don't buy a D-Link! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone, nor Belkin.

If you are going to get a router buy one from Netgear. If you can afford it make sure you buy the wireless-N router from them (if you are using it wirelessly) or if you are plugging in your PS3 then make sure your the router has gigabit ethernet ports on that back.

(I properly recommend Netgear for any networking)

(Also, if you are plugging into your router make sure you buy either Cat5e cabling or Cat6 cabling (my preference))

How about this one? Just makes into your budget at $70. Looks like it would do great since it has b/g/n and seems easy to setup.

I had Belkin and D-link they were both fine for me...Just make sure it has wireless security....Ive had Netgear too and theyre fine....I kinda like my Belkin to be honest. Never drops out like the D-link or netgear did....Little tough on security though...Ok with playstation and PC but murder with Xbox.
