I currently have a wireless G linksys but i just bought another ps3 and its in my bedroom the connection is only about 77%-85% which does not seem bad i can play warhawk and i dont notice any drop off i can download from PS store not problem, only had issues joining some rooms in warhawk but i usually play sony servers anyway. If your signal strength is close to the same or lower and you have no issues please let me know as well thanks

Anyway how is the N router i see it has much more range and double the speed i just want some perspective from people who have and use for gaming. LInksys has one for only abot 45$ and thinking about making the switch

Thanks

I have my wireless switch on all the time on my Ps3 because my 360 uses the wired. Anyway I use linksys and it works find. The only problem I ever had with it is when I was downloading siren blood curse. It was slow so I switched it over to the wired connection. So I would recommend linksys but I've never tried any of the other wireless servers.

The real issue you'll have is that some routers don't handle data flow well - meaning that if the actual routing process gets complicated (say 2+ devices pulling really hard, 4+ pulling medium ect) then the device basically resets itself. I've seen this happen with DLink and Linksys routers - its a combination effect of both the router hardware itself and the connection. Wireless N routers from both brands have had this issue, and of course I'm going to lay partial blame on SBCGlobal DSL being flaky (which is one of the reasons I'm glad I'm back at college...)
