instead of hijacking other users' threads, i'll just make my own, but it'll be short and simple. i dont have many wireless devices (so far a ps3, but will add a laptop in the mix, and guests laptops/wireless devices will follow later). i was thinking about getting a simple G router until more N choices come out and because the ps3 only has a b/g wifi adapter in it (i'd love to get simultaneous dual-band but my wallet disagrees with me at the moment).
my G router option:
Buffalo WHR-HP-G54

i was planning on flashing Tomato on this router and go from there. however, i'm worried about speed and range/strength. My PC is on the middle floor. My PS3 is in the basement, and my laptop will be in my room. will this router be enough, or should i move on up to a N router? i was thinking about getting a WNDR3700, but i feel like it might be overkill for my needs. any thoughts? router recommendations are welcomed (i've had a linksys wrt54g something model, and it was good in the beginning but kept dropping, so linksys isn't my favorite ATM. i had a d-link cable modem a while ago and it artifacted on me, so d-link is also on my 'not so great' list).
-Thanks.
