Many times is just that simple. Try the free options first, also more expensive router are more expensive for a reason. Many of the $150+ ones will boast being able to broadcast at yxz speed, but youll never see the benefit in it unless youre the type of user who would likely already know this.The suggestion of dd-wrt is completely unnecessary and its unlikely that a person with not much savvy in the ways of the netterwebz would even know what theyre doing enough to know how to install it, much less reap the benefits of it (or tomato for that matter(another custom firmware for routers))you mentioned that its connected to your phone lines in your kitchen, so i assume that its DSL. If it is, then youre very likely able to move the modem to another phone jack in your house without an installer having to come out and monkey with stuff to make it work properly. DSL doesnt have the same issue that cable modems do where the SNR has to be within certain thresholds at the connection point for it to work properly. If other phone outlets in your house are able to get a dial tone, then you can likely put the modem on that outlet unless its very old wiring in the wall. Worst case scenario, try it out on the outlet closer to your xbox and if it doesnt work, put it back to where it was and youll not be any worse off than you were to begin with.</blockquote>
