At the minute I'm using a livebox, I'm looking for something a little.. better :) I'm hard wired at the mo, have tried wireless (have the adaptor for xbox) but the 'G' standard or maybe just the livebox dropping the connection frequently, well didn't work out but if I can get a decent router I'd try again
Will a G+ MIMO / N wireless cope with it better?

I'm looking at picking one up tomorrow
Thanks for all imput

Personally I stick with wired for gaming, wireless is great for general browsing but too many factors can affect the signal quality and that can cost you at a crucial moment ;).

I'm using a WRT54GL with the DD-WRT firmware on it and it does me fine. I even have 2 360's going through it with only the occasional problem during heavily loaded Halo 3 matches
