I'm looking for a new router i currently have a Belkin F5D8236-4 when using wireless visiting justin.tv using their chat when conversations are going on after several minutes they stop so when i refresh the chat peple are still talking i had to refresh to see new messages its like the router isn't connecting properly this is the issue i'm having http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUtzlDXxwTY what are good routers and which of them has good tech support and if the router would have to be reset are there ones that allow to backup settings so they could be used again? i've tried cisco their support was unhelpful when searching online i've seen people say trendnet and asus are good

Fortunately I haven't had to call in to tech support for any of my routers except when I had issues with replacing a Linksys that was just DOA. As far as backing up your router, you should have a tab on your router configuration page to allow you to save and back up a file to your computer.

I noticed that you have had a bad experience with Cisco and are currently not satisfied with your Belkin. What did you not like about the Belkin? Is there anything specific that you are looking for? USB ports?

I would start looking for a router that supports 802.11ac as opposed to 802.11n (ac is backward compatible with n). You will have an overall better experience with it if you transfer large files across your home network and will have that technology in your home for newer devices that you purchase.

Here's one I found on NewEgg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833162078

Buffalo AirStation Extreme AC 1200 Gigabit Simultaneous Dual Band Wireless Router – WZR-1166DHP
This router is backward compatible with a/g/n so you would not have to worry about your current devices having connectivity issues.
