So, I'm looking for a wireless bridge for some devices across the house from my main internet hookup.
Is there any benefit to using a dedicated bridge like the WET610n over a router in bridge mode such as the Asus RT-N16?
There are a whole host of options for what I could do:
1. Keep my current Asus RT-N16 router and add the WET610n
2. Keep my current router and add a second RT-N16 for bridge mode
3. Retire my RT-N16 to bridge mode and add an RT-N66u as router
Do any of these have any distinct benefits over the others?
The dual-band option is only really beneficial for future-proofness as my only devices with 5 Ghz are a phone and a tablet which likely won't see much real benefit. With AC coming along I'm not sure if the 5 Ghz router is really that big of a deal as I will likely upgrade everything in the next few years.
