    I am in the market for a router that has QoS and I have clue which router is right for me. Essentially, I just want a router that can allow me to control bandwidth usage around the house because I will be living with several housemates. I am a gamer so whenever I play a game I would like my experience to be as pleasant as possible (ie being able to move). I also do a lot of torrenting.

    My budget is pretty lenient, but I don't not want to spend anymore than $150. Can someone guide me in the right direction? I don't really know much about routers, but I learn fast when it comes to electronics.

    My wireless card is the 4965 AGN

    EDITED: So I noticed that the D-Link dir-655/825 are pretty popular. The 855 is a bit too expensive for me. So which one do you guys think is better for me? Or is there another router that I should be looking at?
