It would work if you could get all your details out of the router you have currently. I take it you have tried changing channels on the router and made sure nothing is near it that can impact the signal levels?

No he got his details out of his Sky router. Sky routers are sent out with user name details etc coded into them.

Dont waste your money on another router, buy a couple of homeplugs instead, they will improve you gaming no end.

£45 for a pair of solwise 85mb Turbo on e-bay.
