I am looking to upgrade my wrt54g.
Would like to keep it under $50 if possible.
Thanks

Be sure you are talkin about a router and not a modem. =P
there are various types. mainly speed, and with wireless ones you have frequencies they use, problem with that is that a device operating in the same (Or close) frequencies can really mess with ping times.
I'm sure there is more but i know very little about Networking.

I loathe those modem/router combos devices... ugh.
However, i love my DIR-655. I've had about 7 routers over the years, and that one takes the cake. I've also had a DIR-825. It was nice, but I still prefer teh 655.

Sorry, I should have said this at the beginning.
I am also looking to upgrade to a gigabyte router.
I am not that concerned about the wireless speed. My gaming machine is wired so that is my main concern and why I am interested in going to gigabyte speed.
My kids use the wireless for their consoles.

Does the 655 have guest access?
Does it play nice for gaming?
I found a used on for $35 that I am trying to get.
Hoked up will be :
wired : gaming pc, playstation
wireless : 4-6 laptops, second playstation, xbox360, 2 pc's
