Hi all,
I am looking to replace my old Linksys WRT54G v3 router. I have a mix of G and N devices, although none of my N devices are dual band. I plan on using the new router as N only and use the old linksys as G only to keep the N devices as fast as possible. I need gigabit lan ports as I copy large files between machines, and I game heavily on the PC (wired),consoles (wired), and laptop (single band N). I live in a fairly small 2 bedroom apartment so range should not be an issue, but there are many wireless networks in my complex.
Are there any fast, stable, non dual band routers with gigabit lan? What would you recommend? Should I just get a dual band for its speed and turn off 5GHZ? Forgot to add my budget. I'm willing to spend up to $130 (RT-56 price), but would prefer less since I don't have a need for 5GHZ.
Thanks!
