*Sorry for second post.. the first one bugged out (??) and I can't delete it, edit it, or view it.

I need some help.

Comcast (inb4 hate... gotta love monopoly) has given us a free router / modem combo for the past 2 years... The modem hasn't given any issues whatsoever but the router craps itself and gets flooded with connections whenever I try to load games (Anything source, bf2, cs 1.6, etc)

After googling for months I pretty much came up with nothing.. as the router just isn't made to handle all of those connections at once (Its a cheepie $20 netgear)

So - Do I go to comcast and pick out a new free router and return this one OR do I just buy my own router? I am pretty sure comcast has nothing nice as its all either cheap or old stuff.

If I WAS to buy my router what would you recommend? I am hardwired to it but there are other people I live with that need the wireless... I just want something easy, reliable, and somewhat cheap (Under $100)

Naw, I'd go with the WRT150N router just to be somewhat future proof (it's wireless N capable). There's no need to still by wireless G routers, even though the majority of people haven't made the switch yet.
