    Advice for a newbie

    Got it. Just one more question (I promise!). My DirecTV DVR will soon have multi-room viewing capability. One of the requirements is a network capable of sustained 40Mbps transfers. Would the Asus, or pretty much any N router be able to do this wirelessly, given my physical layout? Thanks...

    Advice for a newbie

    Thank you for all your help. Before I make my decision and purchase, it seems like you would recommend the Asus rt-n13u (or two) over other routers? Price isn't really a consideration; I just want good range (through walls) and a stable connection.

    Advice for a newbie

    Networking is unfortunately one of those things that give me an instant headache. However, I'm thinking of upgrading my existing 802.11g network and going with an n router. Here is my current setup: I live in an old house with very solid walls. We have a computer on the first level which...
