802.11n Wireless Router?

Cubsfan · 02-12-2007, 08:01 AM

Anyone have any opinions or experience with the current crop of 802.11n routers? My 802.11g router appears to be well on its way to ruin, so I'm going to need a new one. I have 802.11n on my MacBook, so I'd really like to take advantage of the increased speeds.

Looks like the Belkin N-1 is the current favorite of the bunch. I'd really rather just get the Apple one, but I'd like one that's a gigabit router as well. Now, of course, I'm assuming that all of the pre-n equipment will work together, which I don't know for sure is true.

Any thoughts?

(hey you clearly said "any thoughts" and didn't specify that they had to be at all pertinent, valuable or insightful.

Ok, at least I'm comforted that nobody else has much experience with these either!

Until my internet connection cracks the 10Mb mark, 802.11b is good enough for me!

Yeah, my main reasons are:
1) Large file transfers
2) Range

Man, there just aren't any good reviews for these things. I'm leaning toward the Apple one, but there's a couple things that I'm not totally thrilled with about it. However, I can't find any real good comparison articles.

No opinion on the routers, but if you want to get one cheap, frys.com has a refurbished Netgear one for $49.99.
