Hey guys, I'm looking to improve the wireless in my apartment. Here is a summary of all the info and the conclusion I've come to. I'd love some feedback on this conclusion.
Devices in need of support:
1 x Desktop - 50 ft from the router
1 x Home Theater PC - 15 ft from router
1 x Laptop - variable range
2 x Cell phones, Samsung Galaxy S4 and Nokia Lumia 920
Location:
Apartment, 700 sqr ft.
Technology Current Owned:
WD Net N900, Powerline AV kit XAVB2101, Motorola SB6141, and built in adapters for the phones, laptop, and the HTPC (can't find exact specs on those currently).
Current Set Up:
Motorola -> WDNet -> HTPC, Phones, Laptop (wireless) + XAVB2101 -> Desktop
Internet Usage:
My web related activites include gaming, youtube, streaming local content from my desktop to my HTPC, hulu, and netflix
Reason for Upgrading:
I'm not getting the desired throughput with my XAVB2101 and it's my understanding that wireless throughput with a wireless bridge/adapter typically lands you faster speeds anyways and I'd like to upgrade to AC on everything in my house.
Desired Technology:
New Router: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BUSDVBQ/?tag=snbforums-20
New Adapter x 2 (one for desktop, one for HTPC):

New Setup:
Motorola -> C7 V1/V2 -> HTPC, Desktop(Wireless, 5GHz) + Phones, Laptop(Wireless, 2.4Ghz)
Whatcha guys think?
