[QUOTE="Big_Mac, post: 958123, member: 134778"] I'd echo cwa107's points: An 'n' class router will only work with 'n' class products - therefore, unless you have a laptop/PC/apple product that is capable of receiving on the 'n' range there is no point shelling out more dollars... I recently installed a Netgear product (a/b/g/n capable) into a client's home who also wished to integrate an AEX(n) and TC (dual band) onto a network that included both Apple and Windows hardware -although successful, the Netgear's performance as a purely g/b wireless router was average - a separate wireless network from the apple TC was setup from the Netgear for clarification Having said that, having setup a 'dual' network (i.e the apple products transmitting/receiving on 'n' through the TC (5GHz), and all others through the Netgear router on a/g/b on 2.4 GHz), it is working and extending the range as promised - takes some configuration and a few expletives, but does what it says on the tin... Without bias, my recommendation would be a Draytek Vigo or similar ( [url=http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/Reviews.asp?ProductID=5269]Review DrayTek Vigor 2820Vn VPN Wireless-N Annex M ADSL 2+ Router, VoIP, Dual WAN, 3G Support (V2820VN)[/url]) if available in the US, to achieve the best results. If money is tight, take in all that cwa107 has explained as they are gems that are often overlooked for optimum performance. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
