WiFi gaming

by amc0201_8 Mar 18, 2006 9:17PM PST

I have a wifi network set up using a netgear WGR614 54mbps, i have my laptop and my li'l brothers xbox on the network, i play battlefield2 and i have to use a hard line when i get online to play or else my ping will be too high and the lag will be pretty bad too. i have dsl through bellsouth, any suggestions on a wifi router that will handle gaming? my dad doesn't like me to take the dsl router into my room to play.

Isn't that just a wireless adapter for gaming consoles. we already have that for the xbox. i need a better wifi router that won't lag when i play online on my laptop. will a router that broadcasts at 108mbps fix this or is there another optiion?
