Need a router for my house

I've got a Netgear Rangemax Wireless Cable Router and never had any problems with it. It might set you back a bit but its worth it.

the router that came with my isp (o2 in the uk) covers my whole 4 floor house and it's kept on the top floor

This is the BEST, and most professional way:

Get a wired router(or build your own like a man, I did, google pfsense if you care)

Get 2 wireless switches: and make the second one clone the signal of the first, (Look at the wireless switch and look at access point client for linksys, but this will only work if they are wired on the same lan!, if they aren't set them up as a wireless repeater.)

--------------------- Or just get a wireless router and get a powerful antenna, this might be stronger http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833998041 But you should get a super strong one.

Just get some antenna's, ur current router should have attachments where you can plug them in. If its one specific location a few directional antenna's should solve the problem. Or a high performance omni-directional antenna should solve it.

Sorry, didn't read that above.

Yeh gaming will be fine, it depends on how many people will be connected at once and if it is a MIMO router. It also depends on ur net connection. Wireless G works at a theoretical 54Mbps speed. I can't really say what 80% signal strength is as all houses/routers/pc's are different.
