Hi,
Firstly, let me congratulate you on a fantastic web site. Thanks for the time, effort and money spent to get all the networking hardware tested so vigorously.
I've pretty much decided to get an Asus RT-N56U router.
The question I still have is - what PCI/PCI-E/USB client card would work best with this router. I can't find a comparison of different cards?
Can you suggest what models work well?
Secondly, the D-link DWA-556 claims the following:
"This adapter enables you to simultaneously make or receive Internet phone calls (VoIP), surf the Web, transfer files, and stream High-Definition (HD) media when connected to an Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655 or DIR-660)"
So, is this a marketing hype, or is there something that D-link have that makes their own matching hardware perform faster than normal? Would a DIR-655 and DWA-556 combination beat the Asus RT-N56U router (and other wireless client card) in terms of speed?
Thanks for the help!
