    e4200v2 refurbished invasion - wondering why

    True. In my specific case, N600 would suffice, but then comes an N900 for the exact same price... I'm trying to find where's the catch. I can see a higher than normal number of reports of wifi inconsistency and general failure after a few months of use in the e4200v2, but that's pretty much it.

    e4200v2 refurbished invasion - wondering why

    Well, when running a comparison at Router Charts between the e4200v2, e3200 and e2700, the 4200's throughput always ends up lower than the others. Plus, there are reports that its QoS, a feature I would love to see working nicely, is not exactly the greatest. And then you're stuck with stock...

    e4200v2 refurbished invasion - wondering why

    Makes sense, but would they brand new units as "refurbished" expecting to get rid of them faster? They could just offer the discount. Nice, now all dual-bands in Canada have a representative in that price range: e4200v2 refurbished for $70 e3200 new for $70 WD Mynet N750 for $60 all...

    Expensive N router, or cheap one to wait for AC?

    Awesome. Last question and I'll leave you alone: Since the TV laptop works on a/b/g, should I get it an N adapter, or would I be able to see improvements already by using 5ghz, since it holds 802.11a? Thanks a lot!

    Expensive N router, or cheap one to wait for AC?

    Unfortunately wiring is not an option (it's a rental and I'm not supposed to bore holes in walls), and I guess homeplug would be a bumpy ride (electric wiring in this house was apparently installed by the Flintstones, and never touched since). I've been considering N600 routers, but here's...

    Expensive N router, or cheap one to wait for AC?

    Hello and thanks for creating this space to help us, clueless buyers who haven't changed routers in 10 years. Here's my situation. What do I need? - Good streams from the web. I don't expect HD, but the best I can get from my overseas Slingbox. - Good file transfer speeds, but not that my life...
