Need 5Ghz bridge

boomhower

New Around Here
I have moved and my E4200 has run out of range. The 2.4Ghz band is faster than the 5Ghz band at my TV location. I need to stream my video in the 5Ghz band. We're only talking about 70 feet so it's nothing crazy but it's down to two bars on the 5Ghz network. I have a Netgear WNHDE111 but it doesn't have the juice, it works but just barely. I need more power. I am thinking the best solution is a router that can run DD-WRT. The two that have jumped into my mind is the Linksys E2000 and Netgear WNDR3300. I am partial to Linksys so I am leaning that way but am open to opinions or suggestions on other products. I would like to keep the cost somewhere around $50 if possible. Whatever the product it needs at least two ethernet ports with three being better.
 
A better option would be to use a pair of HomePlug AV adapters to make the connection, or at least to move the WNHDE111 closer to where you want the 5 GHz coverage.
