Thanks for the replies already!
hmm, as to the mention of the price for Cat6 cables, i know they looked pricey at a local bestbuy, but I also use Newegg for a large assortment of my pc related purchases. They do happen to have several Cat6 cables for less then 5$ with bulk discounts. But if there isnt a HUGE difference between the Cat 6 and Cat5/Cat5e then I suppose getting some Cat5 should suffice then?
Would you think id see a noticable difference in having my consoles hardwired to a new N router over a wireless connection.
I assume that a hardwired connection is going to be more stable as well.
Edit: by the time i posted this the 3rd reply was up.
I'll do some checking around my usual places of purchase . Ive never had issues with Linksys, and i know some router brands can cause issues with ISP's due to IP address problems and such and it had been to my understanding that Linksys was one of the router brands who didnt really have any conflicting issues with ISP's, at least mine anyway.
Got me some homework to do. I think I will see about getting a new router for sure. I dont need top of the line, or want to go the cheapest, so ill shop around on some good bang for the $ models and pick up several cables to just have around in case.
Will need to also see about digging up the info on the wireless card in the pc on the other end of the house to see if it'll work with an 'N' Router signal.
