Cable + Router = This is good?

Well I have comcast cable and I wanted to get a new router since the current one I have now laggs up terribly when me and a friend connect to the same server and play on the same server..

Hmm... looks like a pretty decent router... I really like the idea that it can be rackmounted.

Looks like a decent router and should be fine. If you ahve any problems as always newegg is the best on returns and making things right.

Yeah thats what kept me reassured

Here are my common requirements for a router (particularly for cable modems, but htis applies to xDSL as well):

1. The router must (at minimum) support 100 Mbit connections to each desktop (copper wired) or 802.11g (wireless).

2. The router must be newbie-friendly (lots and *lots* of concise documentation, both printed and in Acrobat format).

3. The router must be OS-neutral (in short, all you would need to perform basic router admin is a Web browser and a connected PC).

4. The router must be *stackable*...networks (even home networks) *never* shrink!

5. The router should be *inexpensive* if it is not a dual-type (wired and wireless-G, for example); wired routers should be no more than $70 USD, dual-type routers should be no more than $120, but support eight clients (in a mix of wired and wireless).

Both Microsoft (Base Station series) and Cisco/Linksys (EtherFast) make the grade in all five categories. (Yes, Microsoft makes routers. Very very *good* routers. And yes, I used OS-neutral and Microsoft in the same sentence. The heart of my own family LAN is a Microsoft Wired Base Station MN-100, and it has reliably worked in every OS from Windows XP to *Solaris 9* (not many routers for home use are truly OOTB-compatible with the only affordable True UNIX for x86 available today, but the MN-100 is).

Thanks PGHammer for that spiel about Microsoft. Hehe

Yes, that router looks absolutely kick-ass for $79 -- has SPI, it's rackmountable (That's so awesome!) and even has an internal power supply (That alone would make me buy it.)

Yeah im thinking about getting this, the only problem.. Money.
