Hello,

Basically I have a huge dilemma on what to do with my home network.
Our house is quite big, 1000m2 or so, 3 floors of ~300m2
Now, the internet is provided by ADSL modem on 3rd floor on one side of the building, and I need to spread wireless internet in all the remaining house.
Right now I have D-Link DAP 1150 and DAP 1360 repeaters, and 7DBi external antenna.
Connected DAP1360 with 1 7DBi antenna to my ADSL modem and wireless is quite ok in half of 2nd floor.
Now I plan to buy another 2 antennas to replace the existing ones on repeaters, but I still need 1 more router/repeater I think.
So the question is, what should be better to act as an access point near my ADSL modem, is DAP-1360 with 2x 7DBi antennas a good choice? or should I get some serious router like E3200/4200 or ASUS N56U ? will it provide me with better signal to repeat farther with repeaters ? or DAP1360 would be superior in this case ?
DAP1360+2x antennas costs around the same as E3200 in my area. E4200/N56U is a bit more expensive.
