Need Wireless Router

[sephroth777]

Just picked up a new laptop and now I need a wireless router.
I was looking at the D-Link 4300 with Game Fuel to handle the packets. I will be connecting my gaming desktop, laptop (wireless of course), XBox and PS2.

I primarly upload bit torrents and game on my PC and consoles.
Would the above router be my best choice or is the a better router to get?
Use will be inside an apartment.

Thanks!

I too had the Di 604. Needed to upgrade to wireless for my daughter's room. I went with the Belkin PreN router. Its a good one. I do online gaming but I dont use consoles. Linksys, Netgear, DLink, and Belkin all make some good wireless routers. Lots of choices availble. Matter of just picking one you think will fit your situation best. Be sure to read the reviews of them all to see which fits your needs best. People tend to favor certain brands based on their past performance so be aware of that.

Is it worth getting a MIMO wireless router over the D-link gaming router?

Thats a good question. I think its highly dependent on your situation at home or wherever the network is located. Since my daughter's room is about 50 ft away from the router and we have a few walls to go through I was concerned about signal strength so I got the router I thought that would go the distance and penetrate through anything in its way. With three of us online at the same time I havent noticed any performance issues.

I havent tried the D-Link Gaming router so cant comment how it does but I have read pretty good reviews of it. Try and find some folks that use it and see what they say about its performance in a similar setup to your network.
