    These routers are four about the same price. Dlink one is couple bucks more. So how do i decide which one i should buy?. I will be doing alot of gaming. I do competitive gaming in cod 4 where my ping is important so which router will give me the most reliable low latency connection? and least amount of trouble to setup and maintain with good secruity features.

    I think Link dir 615 comes with N draft, WRT54GL doesn't.

    yeah thats correct. But what would be better for me.Like would Linksys router be better and provide a better connection then the other one ? Or the other one would be much better?. Im not sure which one to get since both of them are the same price. But the Dlink one has N but the linksys one doesnt

    Dear Lavit, they are very similar routers and for a couple of $, I would go with the one giving me more throughput, the D-link.

    imo get a buffalo router. they are simply awesome. flash it with drt or tomato and youve got a killer router.. the whr-g54 simply rocks. if you can find one you will not be dissapointed. doesnt have n but that depends on if you need n or not.
