hey guys,
so my latest router's crapped out on me (second linksys that's acted up right after warranty ended), but I needed to upgrade to something with wireless any way. I'm looking for something on the cheaper side (was hoping around $40 or so, but would like to keep it under $100 if possible), all it needs is basic wireless for browsing possibly with a decent range, and high-speed wired ports for gaming (would like at least 4 ports; 2 for gaming pcs, 1 for ps3, one for xbox 360, I still don't like wireless for gaming).
the wireless portion only needs to accommodate web browsing and some streaming media (buddy's getting a netbook for xmas, haha) over a decent indoor range (may be 100' indoors), the walls are dry-wall but there's a decent amount of electrical activity in the area. as for the wired connections I'd like them to be able to handle a good deal; I do a decent bit of on-line gaming, media streaming, large upload/downloads, P2P, file-sharing between connected machines, might get into distributed computing more (been running F@H on ps3, lol), so pretty much the works for a "normal" home network. integrated security isn't a necessity since I button up pretty tight and practice safe browsing/file sharing (bug free since '04 as far as I know).
thanks for the help guys
