    Hello notebook people

    I need some help my recent router died and need a new one. I just bought a D Link router and it sucks I get dropped from the internet and have video game issues it a $80.00 router I got from Bestbuy. I would really love some suggestions heres some the things I need it for.

    My connection is cable 20 download 2 upload
    I'm running 2 laptops , 2 360's (wired), and a i touch. We don't need any sharing files or anything like that. I would just like to game with peace and no lag. Some of the things that are bothering me on this router is the range we have a 3 story house and i dont get great signal upstairs. also when I get on xbox and the other xbox signs in there is lots of problemsIt kicks me off or just lags me off of xbox live.

    1) Wireless signals do not travel well through different floors, you will need a repeater or move the router in a central location.

    2) Try disabling the routers SPI firewall for the XBOX to work
