Recommended "gaming" 8 port router

[torque79]

I am having trouble finding reviews for routers, especially 8 port ones. My old D-link "gaming router" died. It NEVER went down despite heavy torrent usage and the gaming packet prioritization was excellent.

I have 2 4 port routers daisy chained together and both are now full so I really need an 8 port.

I am looking for something with wireless n, but wired gigabit performance is much more important. I want something with easy port forwarding and the ability to prioritize traffic (QoS) based on either ports (preferred) or IP addresses.

Any suggestions? Newegg options seem limited and have some pretty damning feedback.

thanks.

how about a router plus a 8 port switch?

Do as the poster above suggested. This is the reason switches were invented.
