Best router for Wired gaming?

Hi, what router is best for wired gaming? What router has best port forwarding, lowest ping etc? I need one where I can easily change NAT but I don't need good wireless performance. Are there any good routers designed specifically for gaming? Is there another name for them or something? Wired routers?!
Thanks,
Ben

Best put this in another forum mate as its personal preference really,you be better just asking that question in Google and looking at reviews of routers that interest you.

The router should make very very very little difference if any at all. Getting a decent ISP and being on "fast path" is far more important if you want to use the connection for gaming.

To be honest router reviews or the majority are little more than plug in, it works and then reword the phrases on the box and sales leaflet.

To do a decent review takes about a solid week with no interruptions.

Thats why i didn't recommend one,personally i prefer the ease of use of Netgear but i have seen much better routers when looking.

At present i have this BT home hub 5 so i have done away with my router and open reach Modem.

generally you want stability so basically any reliable router is good.

There may be some odd one out routers that for one reason or another actually raise pings, or have instability, but I would expect if only for gaming purposes 90% of the routers out there are as good as each other.

But of course this is assuming the line isnt saturated so things like QoS dont play a part.
