Can anyone reccommend features (or perhaps particular models) of ADSL routers that will work well with FS9, e.g. when flying online?

Hi again people... can anyone offer some advice about ADSL routers as I really don't want to end up with problems when trying to fly on line with FS9. Any thoughts / recommended products would be much appreciated.

Most newer routers will allow uPnP and "Gaming Mode" configurations.Between the two, you should have no problems with FS9. Most people turn uPnP off and still have no problems. Just make sure to buy a mainstream router such as D-Link, Netgear, or Linksys. Many people use them for gaming and, as such, there is a lot of information available should you encounter any problem.I'm personally a fan of D-Link but that's very much a personal preference as there are pros and cons for almost all routers.You can spend next to nothing up to hundreds for a router depending on the features you want. Google a few reviews and you'll get a general idea of what you should look for and avoid.BTW, routers work regardless of broadband connection type. The only time it matters is if you are getting a combination router/modem.Hope this helps.Steve

Adding to that:Almost any router supports multiplayer games initiated from a localy attached PC. So joining an FS multiplayer host is no problem. However, if you want to host a multiplayer session, you need to configure your router so it directs the incoming outside world traffic to the PC running as host.

thanks a lot for your replies.I've been finding the following things confusing when looking at various router specs, maybe someone can answer some questions:Q1) 108MBps - I'm not convined that this isn't some kind of a play on words. Aren't these just 54MBps that use MIMO technology?Q2) "PreN" - apparently the new IEEE 802.11n standard won't be officially introduced until 2007 so how will I know if these routers will support the standard?Q3) ADSL2 - whats the difference???Q4) VPN - I don't think anyone needs this for online simming (???) but it seems that you need a special router to do this, why? Q5) I'm tending to think that I will end up getting a MIMO 54MBps and forget all the other bull****! Other than the claimed speed increases (and probably when using the same manufacturers inteface cards), I see no other benefits when simming. What do people think about this?Q6) Which manufacturer would you choose if you wanted to get both a wireless router and interface cards?Q7) When using a non-wireless router is it not (as) important for your networking hardware to be from the same manufacturer?Any answeres/thoughts would be most appreciated.
