Hey all -

Was hoping I could get some advice on a new router. Have no idea what I'm looking at when i go the store and see N, AC, G, etc. 900, 1200, 1450, etc.

I guess what I'm looking for is an upgrade from my old $25 Linsys Walmart special.

I would like to be able to easily stream videos to a couple of different devices, run a tablet, and such....sometimes at the same time.

The house we just bought is 2800sq ft and I would like to be able to get net everywhere if possible.

Any suggestions on what to get?

Thanks!

lots of good articles on this stuff on cnet or kim komando.

Spend 90 or bucks on a Netgear N600 or N900. If you want a router with gigabit speed you can get their 1450AC. If you're willing to spend around $150 or so I recommend an Asus router.
