Default Networking peepz- advice on new router

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a new wireless router for my home.
My linksys wrt54g took a crap and since i've had it for YEARS, I think its worked well btw.

I am looking at getting a wireless router that allows me to change the DHCP address pool or IP address given out to my workstations.

example, router has fixed ip of 192.168.x. x
but, I want the workstations to be given an IP address of 10.x.x.x

I think D-Link routers offer that?

any recommendations?

Have you tried resetting your current router to factory settings or flashing the firmware? Might help. I have the wrt54gl. I love mine. I'm running the Tomato custom fw.

I've owned the following manufactures of routers: Linksys, D-link, Netgear. The Linksys is by far the best of the three I've tried. If you have to get a new one, I'd recommend getting another Linksys.

I also need a new router, hopefully something that supports hardcore gaming via wireless.

i can tell you a WRT160N will do at least 30mb wirelessly if you have a supporting wireless adapter.
