If its not a router i need then how can i improve connection. When i play games i get insane lag. There has to be some kind of solution.

Answer 1

You don't need a new router. You are "choking your own pipe" trying to run up to 4 GAMING PC's at once.

Proof? Everything is fine when only one PC is online. Right?

Answer 2

If you are talking about networking the computers so you can play games together at the same time you will need a networking cord. But as far as hooking up the new router you should actually be able to set up the router will no wires from one to the other... I had a networking program called Windows Network or something like that. It was great it was network went down it would tell you and help to correct the problem

Answer 3

sounds like you need another internet service. Or atleast a 6 megs of download speed. its not going to be easy pushing everything you want through one router and one internet service provider. With that much going through i wouldnt be surprised if you dont get shut down all together. Although gaming isnt illegal,;limewire is, and if you are doing multicasting through a home network, you will raise some flags. i would be carefull in wich direction you take this. stick to gaming. or you might be hearing (bad boys,bad boys,watcha gonna do).
Dont mean to rain on your parade, but thought you should know.
as far as gaming, as long as you have a decent graghics card,you should have any problems. you might want to switch over to wireless, might cost a bit, but a linksys can easaly hold up to 10 pc's wirelessly, and has 4 ports on the back to add local pc's.
