    I'm currently using a Netgear router with a PC Card slot behind it, which was provided to me by my Wireless [Mobile] provider Digiweb.

    The Router in question is pretty poor when it comes to certain online games, whereby it sort of 'overwhelms' the router and thus causing a total lose of connection... needing a reboot of the router there after.


    Could anyone recommend a good wireless router with a PCMCIA card slot to help alleviate my problem ?

    Well first I would look to see if you could replace that pcmcia card with something a little bit more modern as it will severely limit your choice of hardware. If you must use the PCMCIA card then I know that the Linksys WRT54G3G has a PCMCIA slot (I'd imagine you would have to get it off ebay as I doubt its manufactured any more). I've never used one but I know they are supported by custom firmware so I'd imagine that it would be compatiable.
