Important question regarding Linksys Etherfast Router.

[Piano Man]

Before I purchase the Etherfast Router, I having the following question. There will be four computers hooked up to this thing and the internet connection will be cable. We are all gamers and will definately be playing quake2/3, Tribes 2, and other games on the SAME server. Is this possible with the Etherfast? Why or Why not? If it is, I don't need to know how to set it up yet because I won't have the computers hooked up until late August, so I'll ask you guys then.

Thanks.

Regarding games..IMO the linksys is the biggest POS for gaming. The sad thing is ive talked to the ex-firmware programmer for the linksys and he said he would NEVER buy one. I HEAR the umax is good for gaming but I wouldnt know. The netgear is great for gaming, i own one, used to own a linksys, sold it.

But is it just you that plays games? I need to know if it will be able to handle 4 people playing on the same server at the same time.

im not sure, but maybe the $150 switch version is what you want.
