Looking for wireless router, please advise.

I need to get a new wireless router for my mac book pro. i heard something about it being good to go with Wireless N (also hear thats the best wireless technology out right now). Can someone confirm this and recommend a good router. or am i wrong about all of this and can someone straighten me out.

The Apple Airport Extreme Base Stations has the latest N wireless. Has a usb port for printing over the network or plugging in an external hard drive, so you could store files on your network. Or both with a USB hub.

+2 had mine almost a year its great.

It really depends on what kind of ranger and speed your looking to get. I have a Linksys Wireless G router and it works fine for everyday surfing and online gaming. But it's also right beside me so range isn't much of a issue with me.

If your looking for maximum range and speed for gaming/downloading/streaming then I would spend the money and go with the N, but if your just using it for a couple of rooms that are in close proximity and for everyday surfing, light gaming then the G would be plenty fine.

i also want my wireless network to work on multi-floors. the router would be on the top floor and my ps3 would be on the bottom, with one floor in the middle of them both. will the g work or should go with the n?

I believe the PS3 has a built-in G card so it wouldn't be able to communicate at N speeds.

as for a good brand of router, i would strongly suggest either the apple airport, or a linksys.

For G-speed routers, the Linksys WRT54G series is one of the best out there. But when I upgraded to an N-speed router, I was very disappointed. I had excellent connectivity on the 2nd floor, but not in my basement office three feet from the router. I returned it and bought a Netgear, and have very good connectivity regardless of my location.
