New Around Here
Hi I've read through a lot of stuff on the site, but am still having difficulty determining what I need.
The current devices using the network:
2 macbooks (mid 2009, 802.11 a/b/g/n)
1 desktop w/ ethernet (not gigabit currently)
iphones
Future devices:
streaming media to tv (need 5 ghz? perhaps apple tv, or other device)
printer (wireless vs usb, not sure yet)
some kind of NAS (maybe)
a new macbook pro
I had considered just getting an apple airport extreme, but quickly realize it is overpriced and also lacking in features (QoS and SPI, for ex).
Is Linksys E2500 or Dlink DIR-655 sufficient to keep price down?
Or is there a better option that will allow for future expansion? The ASUS? or Linksys E3200? Are these worth the extra $50?
Where should I throw down the cash?
Thanks!!
