Hi folks.
I'm a Trek fan, but not very experienced in the tech realm. Here is my problem: I think we need a new wireless router.
Our current wireless router (an old Airport Extreme) is on its last legs. Connectivity and speed sucks - badly. We're talking 100-200 kb/s via a high speed cable modem. The cable company (Charter) checked our lines and other equipment. I've tried every potential fix/reconfiguration that I could find on the Internet, but it hasn't worked.
So, I'm looking to buy a new wireless router. I don't know what I should get - wireless n or wireless g? Netgear, D-Link or Lynksys? I'm not going near the near the new Airport.
We have two Macs in our 1,500 square foot home - one desktop 5 feet from the router and laptop we carry around the house. I also have a PS3 about 25 feet away from the router.
Any advice on what I should get - preferably under $125 bucks. Cheaper the better?
Thanks!
