Hi there,
Im looking to upgrade my WRT120n because my wireless coverage y getting short, I think that my router does not even have amplifiers so anyway it is a wise investment.
So, here´s the thing, I have mostly 1 stream devices so more streams arent needed right now but I do like the chance to have a USB disk shared on the network without the need of an ever online PC, so my options are these two routers (because of USB), both seem very similar, the questions are...
- Will I see any improvement with the 3x3 antenna array of the 4500 against the 3500.
- 4500 has a Twonky Media Server but it can transcode MKV for example, so in my case its basically useless, given this, what other difference do I have?
- I´ve read 4500 has DLNA, then, to share content with my 3500 I need devices that can read SMB shares right? For example, Im planning on buying an Android PC-on-a-stick, will I be able to stream video to that?
- Is DLNA that much needed?
Thank you very much!
