Whats A Good Wireless N 5Ghz Option Router?

I have the Dlink DIR 628 and I connect through my wireless card which is a linksys WMP 600N Dual band. The problem I am having is that my xbox has a wireless N adapter but the reception always drops on it. The router is in the same room as the xbox but still i get the same problem.

Yes I know I could connect via cable but i don't want cables going from one end to the other end of the room. I'm getting 130mbs via my computer and router with a 94% signal strength but with my xbox i'm only getting a 60% signal strength and 100mbs speed.

I am currently looking at this router

The router in your link (Linksys E-2000) will not do simultaneous dual band. Which means that 2.4ghz devices (Your computer) will not work at the same time if you set it to 5ghz for your xbox


The E-3000 Slab_Ryda mentioned will do simultaneous dual band (Exactly the same router, just renamed version of the Linksys WRT-610N which I own and am extremely happy with)
