Our home has been using MTN modems for the last couple of years. I recently organised a private wireless setup, similar to iBurst. Now I need to share this connection (1mb) with 2 other people. The connection has a simple rj45 connector, not a usual telephone dsl connector; so the router will need to be able to share the internet via the rj45 port. I basically need a wireless router or switch of some kind that will allow the connection to be shared between 3 people and give me the option of being able to shape each connection so that one of us (me playing online) doesn't get spiked through the roof while playing, when others are browsing. Anyone have any ideas on which router will help me in this case? Thanks

A Linksys WRT54GL running custom firmware might do the trick, it has a RJ45 (ethernet) WAN port, and DD-WRT firmware will allow QoS so you can give your gaming protocols priority over HTTP.
