After checking charts,rankers, reading around and confusing myself even more I decided to ask for help.
My house is connected through Cromecast Arris TM402P and D-link DIR-601 is used as wireless router. I have mostly 802.11n connected Ipods, Galaxy 2 and 3 and HTC phones, Samsung DVD player, Xbox 360, HP and Samsung laptops. On top of this old Wii and older generation Ipod is connecting on 802.11g, so DIR-601 has 802.11g and 802.11n enabled.
My biggest problem is very weak signal on top floors plus something I cannot understand and fix: when more gadgets are connected (and especially 802.11g Wii or old Ipod) all of other 802.11n ipods get kicked out of the wifi and cannot get back until DIR-601 reboot.
So I got tired of troubleshooting and decided to upgrade.
My favorite for upgade became RT-AC66U.
After reading around I am not anymore sure if this will solve my current problem and if AC66U is a best choice.
I know that ac support is a little overshoot at this moment, but for extra $20-$30 it is a good thing to be ready for a future.
I am asking anyone with more experience to help me to choose the good candidate for upgrade.
I am looking for good signal even on second floor of my house, stable connection for several 802.11n and 802.11g gadgets and possibility to connect external USB3 Hard drive to the router and use it as shared drive/NAS to share movies, music and computer backups.
I appreciate your patience and any suggestions.
