TP-Link Multi-Function Wireless N Router

I wanna get this guy but not sure if it's better than my Belkin N Wireless Router.


I have recently started playing League and there is a connecting issue due to poor internet speed, year right, but I found out connecting to the wireless router Belkin, Ethernet, is causing the poor internet speed (router is connected to the modem Thomson DCM425) my desktop is having x10 speed while connecting directly from modem to pc, and ofc no connecting issue while playing lol (League of Legend).

Has anyone used this router/modem? Is it good for connecting Ethernet to my desktop without losing internet speed while internet is used wireless at the same time?

Thanks.

Belkin is crap. TP-Link seems to be okay, but I'd recommend this:

Newegg.ca - ASUS RT-N10+ IEEE Wireless Router EZ N 802.11b/g/n Support up to 4 SSID in Business (Open source DDWRT support)

Possible to share your thoughts?

TP-Link is providing 300Mps, as it says, while while Asus up to 150Mps?

The price seems to be perfectly fine, but I'm more interested in its Ethernet speed.

Thanks glc!

The TP-Link router can supply up to 300Mbps wireless. However, you also have to consider your ISP Service as well. Some services don't offer that sort of connection. For example, my service is 10Meg service, so I only get approximately 144Mbps wireless connection.

Plus, the ASUS router that glc posted is DD-WRT compatible, allowing you to effectively increase your wireless strength without paying for a more expensive router.

The wireless speed has nothing to do with the Ethernet speed. They will both be considerably faster than your Internet connection.

Pardon my limited knowledge, but I got a feeling whenever on laptop (wireless-ly) watching video or downloading (using internet) I feel like my desktop is losing its internet speed (Ethernet)! Unless it's the same reason why, "Belkin is crap".

Sorry I missed it in your original post - there is no way to avoid a slowdown when you have more than 1 computer accessing the Internet simultaneously. They all have to share the bandwidth. What you need is a faster Internet service or only connect one computer at a time.
