My roommate keeps getting me killed while I'm playing online games because hes streaming netflix/youtube, so I'm looking for a new router.
I want to buy it from newegg.
I would like to pay less than $100 but if its more I will pay it.
I want to be able to prioritize gaming so that I never lag because my roommate is streaming video.
I would like to be able to connect my external hdd but if I can't its no biggie.
I want it to work through 2 wooden walls and effectively at least 30 ft away.
Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

How about the Linksys E-Series?

You didn't mention which router you currently have.

I attached it to my computer the other day and the only qos settings were very basic and were already turned on. There was not a setting to change that would do what I need it to do.
I have read about flashing third-party firmware on routers but I've never had a need to do it before and don't really know how. Also from the little research I did do I don't think it will work with this router...this page lists my router as not being compatible with dd-wrt http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Known_incompatible_devices
