Hi, thanks in advance to everyone who will help out
I'm looking to buy a good router, which will allow me to stream to my tv, and allow my desktop, two laptops, iphone, wireless printer and usb printer to interact smoothly. Having a second usb port is cool, but i can easily just go back and forth between printer and external hd, i don't require heavy backupping.
I want to use the default settings, no flashing or other stuff.
Anything under/around 200$ is fine by me, but i hate paying too much when it's not necessary.
The 66U, E4200v1/v2, and the netgear n900 seem to meet my needs.
I was going to buy the E4200v2, but everywhere i read that its mostly the same as v1, if not slower... So should I just buy the v1 and keep 80$ to buy some brewskis ?
The 66U seems to be very popular, but I see alot of people talking about flashing it as being a main advantage.. which I don't need. Would I be better off with the 66u ?
Regarding the netgear, i see some places saying its better (of course "better" is relative) than E4200 and others saying its less good. Thoughts ?
EDIT: My internet connection is currently 15 mbit, but I plan to upgrade it to 60/120 mbits
My place is 60x60 ft more or less, the router is at the center point.
