Please could you help by suggesting some recommended wireless routers? I am looking for a 802.11n router with the following features:
1) Upgradeable antennas
2) Excellent range
3) 4 Gigabit ethernet ports
4) Excellent routing performance
5) Excellent 2.4 GHz performance
A nice-to-have would be to also have simultaneous dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz).
I've looked through the top routers in the wireless performance charts and there are none that meet all these criteria. The biggest problem seems to be the lack of upgradeable antennae (perhaps they exist but just haven't been reviewed). I would like the upgradeable antennae since the router must cover a radius of about 300 feet.
I am upgrading from an old 802.11g router that I had to upgrade with a 15" antenna in order to get reasonable (but not great coverage) so I don't want to get stuck with a non-upgradeable router that might have worse coverage than the current router.
