I don't play games on my 'puters so I cannot comment on wireless compatibility for that purpose. I also am not familiar with products offered in Britain.
In my experience we have no significant slowdown using wireless at our house (and no reports of significant slowness from other family members using wireless at their houses).
I use a "WebGear" router from my wife's PC with our local Cable Company broadband feed -- it serves my two laptops located in my workroom which is three rooms distant -- I have found intervening walls/structure & distance from the router to be a speed detriment -- I am running at 56 bmps -- fine for my web authoring and testing activities on one laptop and e-mail & word processing on the other.
Additional wireless hookups from house visitors also results in some slow down -- two additional 'puters results in about 48 bmps for all.
