I had my doubts about how well a router could handle the stress that I would put it through--I use bandwidth intensive applications that generate alot of connections that can easily overwhelm a bad router. But this handles media streaming and the internet connection of two computers and an Xbox 360 with no issues. The gamerfuel works well to prioritize sensitive applications like media or gaming, so if you have a bandwidth hog at home causing your games to lag, it's definitely worth every penny.
