So I got tired of always having a closed NAT on all my games... So I replaced this with a top of the line one... Here are the specs for my new router... Have a drool over them, then comment here :)

450 Mbps is pro? I thiught the 1000 Mbps aka 1 Gbps one were pro :D

Nice, but will your modem bottleneck it? xD

[SmG XLORM]

yea it is bottlenecking it... when i was setting it up i saw it needed a modem to run through (my old one didn't) i only have a really old Thomson SpeedTouch modem... How does this look for a modem to go with my new router?

[SmG XLORM]

sorry to double post but this needs attention and i need an answer soon as i will be getting the new modem soon and want to know if it will allow full speed

[UzzyFTW]

Its a router and new routers have a modem built-in so it is not called modem :P

[Ray88]

What's your up and down speed?
@uzzy - the router he specified doesn't have a modem built in

[SmG XLORM]

here's my speeds...

that is with only my laptop online... no other programs or devices connected at the time...
@uzzy - just so you know... i know quite a lot about computer hardware and accessories... i also know quite a large amount about software... i was just asking for a second opinion as i dont want to stuff this up

1.38 mb/s = 11.16 Mbps <- your speed

56.25 mb/s = 450 Mbps <- router's theoretical max speed

If you have experienced, your download speed doesnt exceed 1 mb/s unless you plan to upgrade your net which approaches the theoretical yield speed and or get cloud's Internet; I don't see why you would need such an expensive router. You also have to consider your wifi adapter in your laptop. Most laptops have a 2.4 ghz band and in rare cases, a 5ghz band. You would need both the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz band to take advantage of the dual band technology. My high end laptop and desktop has a 2.4 ghz wifi card which has a max speed of 300 Mbps = 37.5 mb/s, while my down speed is 87.41 mpbs = 11 mb/s, which is clearly more than enough to not bottleneck anything. IMO, the E1200 will easily do the job for you, but in the end you're the purchaser and the one to make the decision.

Btw what wifi card do you have?
