    I am looking for a Wireless ("N") 10/100 4 port ADSL router with Qos that works. I have 4 PCs in my house that can be streaming,surfing and playing FPS which need a low ping. Have been looking for a while now. Does anyone have a similar setup ?

    When you say "QoS that works", in what context does it need to work?

    Linksys WRT320N is the one I have, default router firmware had QoS. Might worth checking it out.

    I flashed to DD-WRT and QoS still work great. It is prioritised by ports, just set my gaming PC to be highest, NAS to be lowest. Never had my gaming ping change even during the heaviest torrent + HTTP download on the NAS.

    But be careful with port based system, if high priority system downloads without speed limiting, lower priority will get timeouts.
