Thoughts on new wireless-n router

specially considering it will take a long time for phones to have 802.11ac

Just to follow up on my own post. I ended up going with an Apple Airport Extreme base station and I love it, it's on my 2nd floor and I get full coverage down to my basement, and a strong signal out to my garage.

It grafted right onto my FIOS router just fine. Now the slowest part of my in house network is the fact the FIO router is on 10/100 instead of 10/100/1000.

http://www.amazon.co...36269365&sr=8-1 10/100/1000 ethernet, usb storage support, wifi bridging etc.

still the best router i've ever bought for the money. not that the money would make me change my mind. if it cost the same price as others i would still choose it over every other brand at this point.

installed custom firmware, and haven't had to manually reboot once (unless i'm changing some crazy settings or the power went out.)

tplink was unknown to me and i still don't know much about the company(made in china i believe, just like apple). first time i realized how epic the stuff was is when i bought a usb card for a laptop for under 20 bucks. http://www.amazon.co...36269874&sr=8-2 i could pick up networks that i set up for my own neighbors throughout the neighborhood. not that i could connect. i always make them set the passwords and i don't look. anyway it opened me up to them for sure.

it's better than any linksys, dlink, netgear etc router i've ever owned. i'm sure some of the other stuff might be better now but it's not worth the price to me. even if you stay on the stock firmware they seem to update it regularly when needed unlike the other brands i've owned.

just throwing my user experience out there.
