Hi everyone!
I'm back from little holidays, and ready for action :)
I'm looking for a new, better router (now I have old Linksys). I have 6144 kbps Internet connection, from one of Polish companies.
I have 3 laptops, all connected by Wi-Fi (one MacBook, and two HPs with Windows XP, and Vista), iPhone, and iPad.
Distance from router to the farest computer is, about 5 meters in straight line (there's one inside wall).
I want to buy a high-end router, with strong connection, and fastest connection speed possible, it need to work on all devices.
The main reason I want to buy it, are my problems with publishing games with GameSalad. Also my family complains about the internet speed while I'm publishing.

I was thinking about Trendnet TEW-692GR, Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H-EU, Asus RT-N56U, D-Link DIR-645, D-Link DIR-855, or maybe one of the new Linksys.

Can you recommend me nice, high-end router?

Thank you!

    @TheMoonwalls … don't know much about routers …
    but do feel your family should have no complaints about any inconveniences when you are publishing!

    also √ Apple's Airport Extreme Base Station

    Now you tell me!

    AVForum seems simple to run Apple Extreme with ADSL modem.

    I've always preferred NetGear routers. In fact its all we use. I'm sure you could find one that fits your specifications for a good deal. Good luck!

    Thank you for your replies!
    I purchased NETGEAR N300 WIRELESS DUAL BAND ADSL2+ MODEM ROUTER DGND3300, mostly because build-in ADSL Modem. Man in the shop told me, that it is impossible to buy a separate modem which works with our national internet provider, and that it's better to take 2-in-1 device (it was a little bit cheaper than Asus RT-N56U).
