Look at the Netgear DG834 Variants (I have the PN version which is very good).

Also, Dlink DIR-655 is a good gaming router (http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=1&pid=530)

have the DG834PN also, very very, good router, highly recommended

previously had the DG834Gv2, also a very good router, but gave out after 3 years of service.

Glad to help

Its a good router, good speeds, easy to set up and very reliable.

Look out for deals that include the wireless dongle with the router (thats how i got mine).
