Squaddie is looking to buy a wireless router for home use. Has anyone had any problems with wireless and Aces High? Could anyone provide any router recommendations please.

Thank you,
Mogi

I bought my parents the Linksys unit with the 4-port ethernet switch built-in. It works great but I did not test it with games.

I picked up the Linksys BEFW11S4 4-port wireless router ($99) this weekend and hooked up my wifes PC with a wireless Linksys PCI card. Easy to setup and works great. I played AH and Raven Shield on it with no lag. Seemed as fast as my direct connect. Now I will pick up a Linksys WET11 and hook up my Xbox wirelessly. My wife will be so pleased not to have a 30' network cable laying across the floor.

I got a Linksys WAP11 last year and really like it. I chose it over the one with the built in router because it has slightly better range and is more flexible. For example, it can be configured to act as a bridge between wireless networks. This is a feature many consumer WAPs don't have. I'll never use it, but it appeals to my geeky side.

WAP11s are probably best if you already have a working network and don't need another router. Of course, it's been over a year since I got it, so maybe there's better stuff out there.
