You can look here to see if your router is support by DD-WRT firmware.

IT MUST BE WIRELESS AS I CANNOT RUN A CABLE TO MY ROOM

Currently there are 3 laptops 4 desktops and a xbox 360 that all need to be connected, please help.

IT MUST BE AN ADSL ROUTER ALSO
what do you mean "not cutting it anymore"? do you receive a 802.11g signal? what adapter are you using for your computer?

Try Belkin, from my experience they are a reliable brand.
Or, for the mak-daddy of all routers, try the D-Link Xtreme N Gaming Router (DGL-4500)
It features software that can give you specific net priority for media or games, blocking everything else.
It's about $300.00 Australian (= $290.00 American)
what a waste of money. 3 antenna's only helps with MIMO supported devices, and does nothing for broadcast range.

increasing your output power also increases noise which may decrease performance, and it may also interfere with other nearby 2.4GHz bands, including neighbor's networks and cordless phones.

I've run my router overclocked so to speak,for 2+ yrs now,and it doesn't have anymore noise/interference than before(switching the channel can help this also) nor has my signal decreased.IMO DuckieHo is trying to give him away do what's needed and save $$ in the meantime.BTW there is a multi-quote tab in the lower right-hand side of post that you can use.

I would look into either a linksys wrt54GL or the netgear linux edition, they are both great routers that you can run ddwrt on and will have 0 issues with.
