hey all, i was wondering if any other brands sold routers like the dlink DGL-4100
D-Link DGL 4100

. i have vonage and when som1 uses the phone, my ping goes through the roof. i see that the D-link has a lot of special features including "port priority" if u will. i know zyXEL uses this technology on their routers, but they r a new company and haven't really seen many reviews for their products. the only thing holding me back on the d-link unit is the price, around 90 and 145 for wired and wireless respectively. i have the D-Link DI-624 router, so i trust D-Link and they truly build nice products. i need a router that supports some sort of port allocation, ie the game fuel technology. i need individual ports to have priority over others so i can game and talk at the same time. currently i don't have this feature, just the ability to assign ports. i need to assign bandwidth to each port, like the game fuel technology from d-link.

*** the router/switch must have the ability to assign priority to ports or assign bandwith to certain ports***

i guess what i am asking is what other manufactures use this "port priority" technology, because it would really help me out and not make my ping go sky high when gaming and talking!!! thnx

The Linksys WRT54G (or 54GS) with Sveasoft firmware can do what you are asking, and it doesn't cost anywhere near $140...
