i currently have a linksys wrt54g wireless router...i have a desktop computer and xbox 360 connected to it with a ethernet cable and a ps3 and laptop connected wireless..my ps3 has been losing connection when everything is on at once so im assuming i need to upgrade the router? i also have another desktop on the way that will be connected wireless and a wireless printer...can you guys point me in the right direction with a router that will support everything thanks
 
Try updating the firmware for the router first, that model is a few years old, if I recall correctly, and there may be a firmware patch out there that fixes it for you...

even if i do that will this router beable to support everything once i get the additional wireless desktop and wireless printer?
 
Potentially, what I'm wondering is if the firmware is a little corrupted/out of date. Updating that may correct the issue and then you don't need to spend the money on a new router. Most wireless routers are supposed to be able to support 4 wired and 64 wireless connections. So, it doesn't make much sense that it's disconnecting with only 4 or 5 things connected... 6 pieces of hardware should be well within it's capabilities.
