Seeing as we will only be living together one year, it only makes sense for one person to bit the bullet and purchase the router and use down the road, so it's needs to be affordable by a college student's standards. Right now we have a DLink WBR-1310 that drops connection approximately every 5-10 minutes, sometimes less than that and it's the most obnoxious thing.

My question is: What's an affordable wireless router that will be able to handle 4 laptops, in addition to 2 xbox's? There is only one of us that downloads large files. We have Comcast internet at 12mbps.

If you need any more info, please let me know. And thank you in advance.

How many of those devices are using wireless? What is their wireless capability (802.11g, 802.11n, ...)? Beside the connection drop, was the current router's performance ok or you want/need more?
