The main thing I was reading was that it would lower the connections for the rest of the applications (such as person on other computer multitasking and dling stuff) to keep the games speeds stable.

 I really didn't want to bother with a wireless one, because we only have 1-2 computers (we have had this one dell 1.6ghz bad old computer for soo long, that we finally are getting a new one). But besides that, we are only keeping the computers in the same room several feet from each other. I see no need for a wireless router and doubt that it'll be a big deal in the future.

I just wasn't sure, if it truly would be working that great to make it be a bit pricier. We were intending on spending around 80-100 dollars anyway on a very good router, so I figured this look like a good bet.

Firstly, I have to buy a new router for my new computer. I looked at this and liked the idea how it prioritizes the gaming connection more so I wanted to go with this one. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16833127060

Is it going to be that much better then an 80dollar d-link router? I am not really sure what to look for.

Also, since this is the first router I have ever had. How exactly does the software work that comes with it? Do you install the software onto both of the computer your going to use the router on? Or do you just install it on one, then put the software on the router or something?

Also Also... when you buy the router I know it comes with the rj45 cable, but how long is the one? Since I need to hook it up into 2 computers and I believe I need to get atleast 1 25foot (some long one) cable to go to the other computer. I am just not sure.
