Hello,
I have a Linksys E2500 router which looks like it has crapped out on me and so I am looking for some suggestions on a good router replacement for it. I have about 5 PC's 3 laptops connected Via WiFi and 1 desktop connected via WiFi and 1 Desktop directly connected. 2 of the laptops are running Wireless G one of the laptops is Wireless N and then the one WiFi Desktop's is Wireless G. Plus at any given time there could be up to 5,6 or 7 phones connected to WiFi plus a Nook and an ipad at times as well. Also there is a PS3 used for online gaming that is directly connected to the router and a Wii U connected Via WiFi. so I mean that's a lot of devices potentially. While yes were probably never gonna have a time where all are connected at once and probably at most 5 or 6 devices might be connected at a single time but still that is a decent amount and so the router would need to be able handle the traffic. Also on that note our house is like 1600 square feet and the router is in the basement and right now we don't really have any signal issues except for in the basement in my brothers room he has a very hard time getting a decent signal on his wireless N laptop. The funny thing is any laptop that uses G really has had no issues for signal strength. His laptop is a Dell and the only time that another laptop had really had signal issues in his room was when my other brother was home and he brought his Dell Laptop with him so it seems to only be Dell Laptops of N or G. So yeah looking for good recommendations, I know my brother likes to watch Netflix and or youtube etc so one that can handle streaming video well is good. Anyways thanks for any help you can provide.
