I'm really wanting to spend no more than $100, but I'm willing to spend $150 if it's worth it.
Uses:
- Wired PC for internet, youtube, and occasional gaming
- Wireless laptop for web surfacing (facebook, myspace, slickdeals, etc)
- Streaming via SONY BDV-E570 (mainly netflix streaming. will be used wired)
- Xbox 360 LIVE (rarely use, but will be used wired)
I just bought a Sony KDL-46HX800 46" tv, so the girlfriend will definitely want to stream netflix movies here and there. Might do some HD movies here and there too. I had a Netgear WGR614, but it's dead. So far the routers that have my attention are:
D-Link DIR-655 $69.99
BUFFALO WZR-HP-G300NH $79.99
ASUS RT-N16 $92.00
D-Link DGL-4500 $114.99
NETGEAR WNDR37AV $149.99
I really like how the D-Link DGL-4500 looks, but scared of the reviews I seen. The Netgear WNDR37AV looks awesome, but the price is way more than I want to spend. Is it really worth it for what I'll be using it for? The other 3 have nice prices, but are they good?
If I didn't list something recommend it please. I plan on buying this online tomorrow afternoon (9/20), but will wait a day or two for more feedback if needed.
