Decent router for lots of wifi devices

Ant555

Hi,
Does anyone have any recs for a wifi router that copes well with lots of wifi devices?

BB is Virgin media 30Mb

We now have 4 x phones, 3 x lap tops, 1 x Xbox, 2 x tablets all on wifi and I am sure we must be competing for bandwidth as it just doesnt seem as fast as it used to be.

A typical evening will have the xbox online gaming and at least one, possibly two other devices streaming on netflix. I know the BB will be part of the bottleneck but I might upgrade at some point to a faster speed with VM

Thanks

Are you using them for the web all at the same time?

if not it should not make much difference, have you done a test with just one item connected to the router wired to see what speeds you are really getting?

Often the answer is yes.

person 1 - Xbox online gaming
person 1 - laptop on youtube
person 2 - Netflix
person 3 - Netflix

You want a dual band router so you can spread them over two frequency bands. I have Apple hardware on 5ghz and the rest on 2.4ghz. The latest superhub does this but v1 of the superhub doesn't - I bought a Western Digital N750 cheap over the summer and it does the job fine (about 15 wireless devices in total)
