Ok, I'm going to be setting up a new network at home. A friend is going to give me the gear, I just have to choose what I want.
I have a network closet where all the ethernet ports in each room of the house is routed to so wired routing performance must be good.
I also need a good wifi network since we have multiple laptops and tablets we use around the home. I do have 2.4GHz and 5GHz devices so I need the dual, simultaneous wifi operation.
The gear I can choose from to do this:
Asus RT-N56U
OR
Cisco RVS4000 + Netgear WNDAP360
The home is a 2-story unit and the networking closet is upstairs near the front of the house. If I go with the Asus RT-N56U, the wifi network will be centered in the network closet. If I go with the Cisco RVS4000 + Netgear WNDAP360, the Cisco router will be in the network closet and the Netgear WNDAP360 will be connected to an ethernet jack closer to the center of the house.
So, which setup should I go with? Any suggestions, comments or advice?
