So I went to walmart and I was checking out the routers and I saw one where it said it was for streaming hd movies and gaming and all the other basic stuff a regular modem would do but what I want to know is if buying the router is actually going to help me or do nothing at all. So here's my problem: whenever I play black ops 2 on my ps3, my sister is always streaming movies on netflix and it causes me to have an extremely poor connection thus resulting in lag and rendering the game unplayable. However, when she's not streaming, I experience no lag whatsoever so please don't tell me it's lag. Anyway, will the router help me or not? Will it give me more banwidth by getting a router? Is that a common misconception? I of course want to be able to play while she is streaming movies so I'm not sure if that's even possible without upgrading my internet plan. My ISP is verizon and while it is not anything fancy like the fios plan they offer, it runs pretty good larglely in part because about a year or two they connected it straight to a dsl line. The router is about $90 and it is from netgear(sorry I don't know the model). Anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated and I thank you for it.

No,
A fast router or wireless LAN connection does not make your Internet faster.
A router connects two separate networks and manages the traffic between them.
In most home network applications the router connects your local group of computers and devices known as the LAN with the Internet, commonly called the WAN or Wide Area Network.
Your WAN speed is determined by your ISP and is measured in Mbps (Millions of bits per second).
For example, If you pay for a 3 Mbps Internet connection, you will get 3 Mbps.
No router or wireless connection will change your 3 Mbps Internet speed. This connection bandwidth is shared by your entire LAN via your router.
If you have a 3 Mbps Internet plan and one user is utilizing 2.5 Mbps of the bandwidth to stream a Netflix movie that only leaves 0.5 Mbps for all of the rest of the users on the LAN.
Fast wireless routers and connections are designed to stream large files on your LAN quickly. The high speed routers permit fast transfer of files between devices connected to your LAN, however WAN speed is still limited by your ISP.

Only way to speed up an Internet connection is to get a faster plan or ISP.
That being said,
For online gaming the two things that are most important are latency and upload speed.
Latency is the delay (ping time) in milliseconds that it takes the signal to travel to the server and back. The lower the number the better, but you'll definitely want a ping time of under 120 ms or you'll have major problems with online gaming. Ideally you want less than 80 ms ping to the gaming server.
Ping time depends on distance and number of connections. Your connection may have to be routed through 15 or 20 hops (different locations) to reach the gaming server. Each server has a delay (latency) due to the distances that the signals must travel. Try to choose a closer gaming server to lower your ping time.
Upload speed also plays a factor in updating your player position data to the gaming server. Slow upload speeds can cause your online game to lag. The faster the better, but at least 0.5 Mbps would be my minimum recommendation.
Wireless connections are not good for systems used for online gaming. Wireless signals are affected by many factors including distance, wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc.
By nature, interference in wireless systems causes problems with smooth, consistent speeds. Your latency (ping) may be 30 ms and wireless interference could cause it to spike to 200 ms or more.
All of these factors will affect your actual wireless range. As wireless connection quality varies the connection speeds are renegotiated. The connection may start at 150 Mbps and end up at less than 20 Mbps or drop entirely.
Just because a particular wireless router works good at one location does not guarantee that it will have similar performance in a different location due to variance in the factors listed above.
You should try to centrally locate your wireless router or gateway up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.
For serious gaming or video streaming your best bet is a direct Ethernet connection. Ethernet is unaffected by wireless interference and will give you a rock solid, stable network connection.
I would recommend a direct CAT5 100 Mbps Ethernet connection between your PS3 and the router.
If it is not feasible to run Ethernet cable you have other options such as powerline network adapters http://isp1.us/reviews/netgear-xavb2101-powerline-adapter/
You plug one in by your router and one in the room where you need access and connect them to the devices with standard Ethernet patch cables. The network signals are transmitted over your existing home electrical wiring which will not be affected by wireless interference.
Good Luck...
