Replacing my sky router

Hello,

 

I've been having problems with my sky router and the wifi signal. Gaming is practically impossible and drops out through wifi and unfortunately i don't have a port near to the console.

 

I'm just wondering what are some of the best gaming router options where i can prioritise my console but still have a strong connection to other. My router information is below;

A slightly better option than wireless is ethernet homeplugs for the games console.

Any idea on what gaming router would work to boost signal strength?

Wireless routers output similar power and therefore you'd only get a slightly better signal with a commercial wireless router. But if you want to try a wireless router your best option would be a Asus wireless router these work well with Sky.
