Hello,
I tried the router selector tool, but didn't find the filters I need (or misunderstood the filters that are there!). I need a recommendation for a router to wirelessly connect an iPad 2 with a digital soundboard. The iPad will be used to remotely control the board.
The router will not need to connect to the internet, and will only ever have the iPad connected wirelessly. It will generally be used at a range of 50' to 150', and it will always have line-of-sight. There won't be a lot of data transfer, but when there is, I need it to be fast.
The most security needed is that the ID is not transmitted, although I expect anything available now will have much more than that. Other users of the iPad remote have stated that 5 GHz routers have had fewer connection problems due to interference than the 2.4 GHz routers, but I wonder if I should get a dual-band just to cover my bases.
So to sum up, my tentative requirements are:
simultaneous dual-band N-mode
good line-of-sight range
reliable high-speed transfer from iPad to soundboard
Not important:
number of wired connections (minimum 1)
security
storage transfer
USB/printer connections
Will an N600 be fast enough, or should I go to an N900 due to the range I will be working at?
I'm hoping not to spend more than around $120.
