Hi,
I am a complete novice and need some sound advice. I purchased a Linksys WRT160N to replace my (Comcast provided) Netgear router recently to address signal strength problems in my home. While the signal has improved, I am still not getting the signal I need in a theatre room in my home that I am attempting to use a Roku HD XR, which is supposed to have the best antenna of the Roku Boxes (this is to stream Netflix etc.)
Anyway, I want to know which of the two following options (all of you who know so much more than I do,) I should try: Should I get the Linksys Range Extender to use with my Linksys WRT N160, OR should I purchase the new Linksys E3000? The Range extender is going to cost $99 and the E3000 will cost me $149. I don't know which one would be the best choice for improving signal strength. Since the cost isn't really a factor in this case, which one do you all think would be my best option?
Thank you for taking the time to think this through (I am sure most of you know immediately which one.) I appreciate the expert advice!!!
