Upgrading modem/router

richfly

Hi guys I have smart telecom broadband and got the standard Thomson TG585 modem/router from them when I ordered the broadband. I am looking to get a different modem/router combo can anyone recommend a good modem/router to get?

As always with this type of question it would help if you told us why you want to upgrade? What do you want to use the router/modem for that the current one won't do for example?

I want go upgrade to wireless n technology, hoping to boost performance. I notice when I am online with the xbox and my girlfriend is using the laptop it seems to lag a bit.

Sharing on a gaming connection is often going to lead to problems for the gamer. Sharing using wireless is even worse, even gaming alone over wireless, with no one else on the connection, can be problematic. Get a wired connection from the Xbox to the modem. Wireless N will not make things better for you.

I do have the xbox wired and the laptop is wireless.

In that case, upgrading your modem will definitely not make any difference.
