My old WRT54G finally gave up the ghost, and I got a Netgear WNDR4000. (Good choice, bad choice? I still have time to return it.) I get roughly 40-50 mbps through a wired connection and on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 at 5ghz. (which has an 802.11N dual-band radio.) I'm getting about 20-25 mbps using my current wireless card, so I think it's time for an upgrade.
I want it to take advantage of the router, so 3-stream 802.11N supporting 5ghz. I was looking at Intel's 6300, but I have no idea where to get the 5ghz antennas I'd need for that. (I was disappointed to learn it didn't come with any)
I also found TEW-684UB dual-band Wireless N Adapter for $58 on Amazon.
I'm trying not to break the bank with this, especially since I have to buy for two PCs. The $40 each for the 6300s is already pushing the upper end of my budget.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.
