Anyone have a favorite 802.11N wireless router? I was running a Netgear 802.11G router which worked just fine but was kind of slow compared to what N was supposed to do. I have a Mac in the basement sharing a hard drive which I use for TimeMachine backups from a Mac laptop via wireless which I'd like to go a bit faster. I bought a D-Link N router and was really disappointed with its transmission distance. Couldn't connect maybe 30 feet away at the other end of the house. Showed up on the list but failed unless you were right near by. After much fiddling I'm donating it to the inlaws who needed a new router anyway and pretty much just use it one room away so it works fine. So now I'm shopping around again. Maybe another DLink? There are piles of them out there but the reviews don't seem to go into any testing of distance. Probably don't need 5Ghz band as my iPhone needs to connect unless there is something that can do both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz at the same time. Should I just go with an Airport Extreme and be done?It seems like it has all the features but is probably the most expensive router out there.
