    getting new router


    I am so sick of our Linksys EA4500 so am looking to get new router that can support our gaming addiction

    We have 4 xbox 360's , PS3 and 4, X1 and 4 computers

    on the weekends when we have friends over, there can be 5-8 things running at once

    either we are all on 360 playing mass effect online or on PCs/laptops playing games there.

    I looked at this guide http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/...-hardware/02-routers/default.aspx?PageIndex=1

    but some of the routers are not listed at all, so before I go buy I thought I'd ask to see if this can support open NAT on 2+ consoles

    Netgear Model: WNDR4300-100NAS or Model:
    R7000-100NAS

    the thing with the 2nd one is if I understand correctly, the PS4 and X1
    does not support wireless AC, but still use N, so thinking that one would really be overkill

    thanks for your help and input

    :)

    Stupid Question but advice is appreciated

    @op - it depends on your hardware, but as close to the source as possible is preferred. There should not be a significant drop from the modem to the router, if there is, maybe get a new router.

    Problems in Halo Reach

    Contact 343 Industries about the issue and try getting new internet provider or buy a new router

    The both look comparably even on tech specs. It just depends on how much you want to spend. Between the two I would go with the Asus, because when installing cable TV/Internet. I had customers that had just awful experiences
    with Netgear. Most routers are all the same I believe. My personal preferences is Cisco/Linksys routers, but that is just me. Also, I don't believe you need to spend $200 to get a very good router. Plenty of times, tech companies or retail stores always
    have some of sale. And they can be ones with really good specs. Just do a good bit of researching and you can get a good deal. The Cisco E2000 I have right now. I got it about 2 years ago for around $90 to $100. And it reliably supports a desktop, two
    smartphones, Surface 2, Xbox 1 and 360. And I have no issues while gaming, the X1 is wired and the 360 is wireless. Good luck on your search.

    new router

    Netgear would be your best bet. A lot of people use Netgear or Linksys so either one of those will do just fine.

    new router

    Have you tried looking for a firmware update for it? Sometimes these things are not well mentioned by companies, unless you religiously visit their websites.

    new router

    Your current equipment may be getting old and doesn't function at the same level. I usually replace my router and modem every 4 to 4.5 years. I have had only two router in the past eight years. I kept my first around as a backup
    for unfortunate incidents. I would not play games on a 10 year old router but it would be good enough for browsing the Web.
