Since I've been getting more and more wireless devices (consoles, tablets, phones, notebooks) and most (if not all) of these devices are at least 802.11n, and I'm stuck on a D-Link DGL-4300 (802.11G). Streaming video from my NAS to my consoles is not possible with my current setup and just frankly accessing internet is slow (have FiOS and access via ethernet is perfectly fine...legacy setup with ethernet, I'm running out of ports on the switch). So this brings me to my question:
1) Keep what I have and get a larger switch
2) Invest in a 802.11n access point or router (which will act as an AP)
3) Wait for the final 802.11ac next year and do step 2.
Any good suggestions for n routers/access points? I'm usually a fan of D-link as that's who I went with years back with all my networking products but other companies (Buffalo, Asus, TrendNet, etc...) have come a long way and it shows from reviews from users and tech sites.
