I am looking to upgrade my router to try and get the best range. Right now I have a Linksys WRT160N, but I am looking at the D-Link DGL-4500. Most of what I can find about the performance is the throughput, which makes it look quite a bit better. This should effect the range I would guess, but what should I look for if range is my biggest concern? My DSL here is slow, only 512Kb, is this going to make a difference, like a better router won't help anyway?
I am looking at the DGL-4500 because of a great price I can get on it, but would look at other options also. I have really wanted and Apple Time Machine, but not sure if that is worth the cost, or how the wireless performs.
Also, on a side note, can I upgrade the wireless in my Macbook to a dualband N adapter? Do they make an upgraded chip for that. It is a one year old Macbook, not a Pro.
