Can anyone recommend a good gigabit wireless-N router?

3-4 ethernet ports on the back and used primarily for gaming
affordable price if you can

Yeah just about any on NewEgg.

Newegg.com - WRT54G, Wireless Router, Linksys Wireless Router, Netgear Wireless Router, Cisco Wireless Router, D-Link Wireless Router, Wireless-G Router

Just about every router on that page meets that requirement. There are a few G brands in there. But almost everyone i looked at was N and had 4 ports.

Is this a good one: Newegg.com - LINKSYS WRT350N Draft 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, 802.3ab, USB 2.0 Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link - Wireless Routers

or can I get a cheaper one of the same performance?

 

[KSoD]

I gave you a link directly to NewEgg with a search for WiFi routers. All WiFi N routers can do a/b/g as well. Some cant do a but they will specifiy what they can and cant do. There are ones for $100 less.

What about one with more than 4 wired ports?

10/100/1000 switches are cheap if you want more ports.

Newegg.com - TRENDnet TEW-672GR IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab, IEEE 802.11a/b/g, IEEE802.11n 2 300Mbps Dual Band Wireless N Gigabit Router - Wireless Routers

Ok, so that one will work with linksys cards, right? I didn't see anything about B or G on there, but it would be backwards computable with that? I didn't see anything about range either. Would it be able to go from the basement to the 2nd floor like my WRT54G?

 

[KSoD]

All routers work with all cards. I see a bunch of info about it right in the link title.

802.11 a/b/g/n are all there. Range various by router. They only account for a clear line of sight. Since you are going thru floors there is no way any person can tell you if it will work or not.

personally I use the WRT330N, but it seems the times are slipping past me, for I can't find it anywhere. I'd say, just from my limited experience, that any of the 300 series Linksys routers will do for just about anything you need. I used mine for VOIP, gaming, and serious downloading, and to boot I had 3 wired computers and 2 wireless computers, all on it at the same time, never experienced lag based off the router and the VOIP was always crystal clear
