Time for a new router?

[Raxxed]

Hey mmo, hope you read this before the store closes :P

My nets been utterly Bananahouse lately, and I've decided its because my 7 year old router is starting to crap out (No proof :P)

Going to go and buy a new router, in the $150-$200 range. Will this increase my internet's performance/download speed?

Usually runs about.. 2-3MB/s download. lately its been struggling to reach over 300kb/s.
WoW usually runs on ~150ms, lately its over 600.

(Yeah, I'm in NZ. I don't want to hear about your 25MB/s download speeds.)

Cheers

Im thinking the n300. Just want to know it will have a good chance at fixxing something.

you can also build one, supermicro makes a ITX board with dual intel NIC's, you can use that, a small hdd, 4gb of ram, and pfsense firewall software to make a router that is better then anything off the shelf

Holy shit $150 - $200 router? Way overpriced. My $70 router handles 50Mbps no problem (I don't have it that fast just from reviews).

Have you contacted your ISP? It could be a problem with your line and your router may not help anything. I have had more modems die on me than routers. Unless money isn't an issue for you I would first research the problem more.

I'm running a router that came with my AT&T high-speed DSL.

I get 20-40ms ingame, and (lol) ~300kbps download speed.

buy a dlink or a linksys for around 70 to 80 dollars will do the job

Grab some cisco one and you'll be set. That aside, go pick up leatrix. just google Leatrix, install it and see how much it helps.
