Ok I think I need a new router. I have an xbox, 2 laptops, a Wester Digital media hub, 2 cell phones, and a blu ray player all on my wireless router. I have an old school WGR614v6. So yeah any help on what new type of router I would need would be greatful. Thank you in advance.

I suggest you ask that in a shop.

As there are a shitload of types.

Some options you wanna look for:
- UPNP (for the xbox).
- Wireless (cellphones)
- A switch onboard (extra ports to connect stuff to)

Also you need to know what kind of internet connection you have.
ADSL, cable etc.
And with or without VOIP (internet telephone).

Some router brands that are allwase been good for me:
Linksys, Netgear, Dreytek

Linksys and NetGear and pretty good. But like how Inter stated, Better off asking in the store.
