    Hey, well i need to hook up two computers to the internet. Previous routers i have have given me tons of NAT problems in terms of Online video games and downloading. I tried port forward but it didn't work. I was wondering if there is any router that wont give me these problems? Also would i switch be better in my case, since it maybe doesnt have NAT?

    A switch will only work if your isps modem will provide two ips to your pcs. Just buy a router.

    Well personaly i have a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124091
    which i abosulty love. 4 gigbit lan ports is super awesome if you have gigbit in your machines. Its a "business class" router which means its built very nice. I have had mine for about 5 months now and love it. But its a bit pricey.

    Hmm now i think i might want to go wireless... When buying a retail wireless router, how many computers can you wireless hook up automatically out of the box? Like how many wireless things do you get inside?
