Bridge + Switch advice

[pacho]

I need advice on two options I have come down to for a bridge + switch setup for my living room.

I will be moving most of my media stuff to the living room where the big TV is(two gaming consoles, bluray player and a media pc). The modem and router(ASUS RT-N66U) will stay in my office where my main computer and htpc are, and since I live in a condo I'm not allowed to run cables through the walls.

ASUS EA-N66 + any 5 port gigabit switch
or
TRENDnet TEW-680MB

Both are dual band three stream 450Mbps capable. The EA-N66 seems to be the best match for my router performance wise. But the TEW-680MB would mean less cables since everything is in one device and is cheaper as well.
I will be doing a lot of streaming; advice will be appreciated.

You need to make the decision. You have framed the factors pretty well.

if your office has TV coax, I'd go with MoCA to the other room, then a switch.
