Here's a great model that will do everything you want: http://www.amazon.com/BUFFALO-AirSta...dp_ob_title_ce
With regards to reviews for the product, keep in mind that tech like routers are notoriously difficult to accurately review. Simply due to their complexity and dependence on many other independent variables. Most of which the majority of people don't understand and don't consider when reviewing. With routers, overall performance is dependent on much more than just your router itself. It's completely dependent on your ISP connection first and foremost. A fluctuation with your ISP connection can easily be mistaken for "Router drop outs". Likewise the performance of the device you're connecting with. Even down to the web browser on the device you're connecting with. You can look at any model router reviews and find somebody complaining about connection, but I guarantee you that many of those are mistaken symptoms. |
As luck would have it my router just took a dump. I'll check out the one you linked. I was looking at a $180 Asus but F that. This Buffalo option looks like it will handle my needs.
I need range and speed. I've been running DD-WRT on an old Asus but the signal directly upstairs from the router was 1 bar and even-though on on a 30/5 Mbps connection the best I could get on wireless was 5/1 Mbps.
