Hi Everyone-
This is my first post here. I have been lurking on these boards here for about 1 week, reading and soaking up so much information, that I am more confused then ever. I am a novice when it comes to networking. I am currently in the market to replace my WNR 3500L router which is having to be reset multiple times a day and seems to be lagging out my PS3 while I am hosting lobbies.
I currently have Comcast Extreme 50 internet and get speeds of 63.5/13.5Mbps with a 10ms ping on speedtest. I hook up my PS3 with a 100ft Cat 5e Ethernet cord as it is quite a distance away. My question is what would be the best router to get for my situation.
In my home, I only connect 1 laptop wirelessly, 1 pc wired and 1 PS3 via wired connection. I dont do anything special other than surf the web, check email and spend 5 hours nightly after work gaming on the PS3. My main concern is to get the best/fastest router that performs well with the PS3. The only reason I pay for the internet speeds is solely for PS3 gaming to be host of a lobby of 12-18 players. I have a Cisco DPC3000 modem if that makes a difference.
Modems I have looked at include the Asus rt n56u, the E3000, the wnr 3700, or possibly waiting for the Asus 66u to be released. Is there a router you would suggest, maybe the high end routers are overkill since I am only looking for wired PS3 performance and barely use the wireless. Thanks Peter
