I need a new router

[Orbs]

Hi. I currently have a DLink VWR. It constantly fails to do its job (ie: all devices lose network access) when I connect my laptop. Every now and then my XBOX 360 will not be able to connect (though other devices are). In both cases, rebooting the router temporarily solves the problem.

I want a router that doesn't need to be rebooted regularly and has the following:

• Vonage VOIP support
  2 or more ethernet ports (ideally gigabit but if not, 100 megabit)
  Wireless N
  XBOX Live compatibility
  Windows Media Streaming compatibility

I also need to set it up to put my XBOX 360 into the DMZ and setup port forwarding so I can remote into one of my PC's from the internet.

Most of all, I don't want to have to reboot this router regularly. In fact, I'd like to never have to reboot it. Are there any products that meet those requirements?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I should add that for Vonage VOIP support, it also needs to have a phone jack in addition to the 2+ ethernet jacks.

Just so you know, the more things you try to fit into 1 router, the less reliable the router will be. You don't need a router (nor do they even have any that I know of) that has integrated vonage ports. Just hook your vonage ATA to your router. A router wasn't designed to be able to do EVERYTHING for you. If you want reliability, look at a DDWRT capable router (Asus WL-520GU or the WRT54GL) These do G wireless (N is draft, not standard for a reason) and essentially are set it and forget it. You can have these on for months without needing a reboot nor will it lock up. If you want Gigabit ethernet, get a separate gigabit switch & connect your PC's to that. For vonage, simply attach your vonage ATA to either the gigabit switch or the router switch. An all in one device is not reliable.

Get yourself a sit on the next Voyager (or talk to Capt. Kirk).

Why? Because in another Galaxy you might find such a Wireless Router. :shocked:
