hi guys , im looking to buy a new Wired 4port router for home use, something cheap and reliable. price maybe around under 40 bucks.

my current rounter giving disconnect problems when im playing games. for example when i leave my RF online mmorpg game on to do mining while im AFK, by the time i came back i got disconnect on both PC. and this happen alot at least more then 2 or 3 times a day dropping me off. Currently im using the D-Link DI 604 model H/W A2 version , which is like 3 years old since i bought.

so do you guys know which brand and model i should purchase for my next 4 port wired router? dont need anything fansy, just something is fast and reliable wont disconnect me..

Bump: It also depends how much max can you spend, Becuase if you spend a little more you could get a very nice quality router

i suppose i can squeeze it in to spend around 50ish ..

and yea i was looking at that netgear router.. but i see some comments from other buyer states that it also disconnect them alot.. not sure if thats only apply to minor people or majority users...

here in germany that router causes no disconnects, but on stock settings it disconnects u everytime u have no connection for 5 mins
change it trough settings internet idle time to 0
then there are no ones anymore

Netgear is unreliable, Linksys is expensive, and D-link is hard to find. Go with hard to find

Go with that, you know why because I have linksys, and never experinced any bad problems (except customer support). They run well!

ohh you were refering to netgear setting.. i tho you meant by my Dlink DI 604 router .. no wonder i couldn't find it...

but yea after hard decision i think im going for the netgear one since is cheaper and better review then the linksy..

My D-Link is playing up a bit at the moment. Wireless keeps failing.
