Hi everyone,
I'm moving into my new condo in a few months, and I want to get ready for my network solution. I'm going to be getting a 28/1 unlimited connection in the new place, and the condo is already wired with cat5e, so wireless is not going to be needed (I would prefer not having wireless, to be honest, if only to keep the cost down). There's only going to be 3 devices connected on the router: my gaming computer (hosting all of my media, 10+tb), a Squeezebox and something similar to a Popcorn Hour for my TV.
I will be streaming very high definition media to the Popcorn Hour (45gb blu-ray .iso rips), so I would like to make sure I have good enough wired performance to handle this. Additionally, I will likely be downloading over 2tb of data per month in 2 or 300gb bursts, so I would like to be sure the router can handle sustained loads like this for 18-24 hours.
Is there any benefit in getting a wired-only gigabit router (which I have been having great difficulty finding), or is it best to just get a fast consumer router and disable wireless?
Thanks!
