Getting a new router. (Help needed)

[Mr. Bill]

So we're getting a new router for our house. The limitations are as followed.

• Must be under or around 100 dollars.
• Must have wireless printing (USB port, I'd like 2 or more USB ports).
• Must be able to support multiple computers
• Must be able to support gaming consoles.
• Must be able to host Blockland severs

I prefer the D-Link and Linksys brands and fast internet, let me know your recommendations.

Update 1.0:
Also if you give me a router with various varients I'd like the exact model type.
And let me know how they work with Blockland hosting and internet speed and the approx. cost.

You may be thinking of the Belkin Play router, I've heard it's not the best. Unless you can link my to it.

If there's anymore routers you guys can reccomend it would be nice.

I have the Belkin Play.

It's a pain the the neck, it always has problems and goes down randomly.

But if I plug my ethernet into the normal modem, it's fine.

overall, besides its performance, it's not bad.

it has universal plug and play, port forwarding, all the good stuff.

[Mr. Bill]

Thanks dude.

Does it work with gaming consoles as well?

[otto-san]

Thanks dude.

you mean the ethernet hookups?

yeah.

i set it up with my ps2 and ps3

but it also does wireless so you know

[Mr. Bill]

Yeah my Wii is about 25 ft or so from the router and I use wireless for it. The main reason we need t5he new router is for wireless printing which the Belkin Play has, even though I heard Belkin isn't the best brand.

Once you get everything situated, it's fine.

be SURE to edit your networks settings to have more bandwidth.

Bandwidth on the Wii or at the router's site?

at the router settings.

Also, don't do the self-healing crap.

Every Tuesday your router will reset all your stuff and make you cry and pour salt in your wounds.
