Tech help for Router purchase

[Luckbox]

I am looking to upgrade my wireless network from a netgear mimo range max to the new n. I think I have it narrowed down to the NETGEAR WNDR3700 or the DLink DIR-825. I really like the ability to set up a guest access point along with the more secure home network. Another issue is the space where it will sit. Standing up on edge it the most preferred setup. I am looking for speed, range and stability. I already have a set up for multiple drive on the network, and the printer is wireless so the usb port and network sharing on the router is not a major concern. Also was looking to upgrade the usb pc wireless adapter for the main pc to maximize the benefits.

uh, Yes. I mean, 42. Er, what was the question?

Soft start and variable speed are desirable, and a multi-base kit is pretty handy. Oh wait, the other kind of router.

I'm a Macintosh/Airport Extreme guy myself, so I can't help you. Sorry.

I have many more routers that make wood chips than I do routers that connect computers. But I have one. Mine is a g and is Netgear. This is actually my second netgear. I purchased a couple other brands and they either didn't work at all or failed quickly. My first netgear lasted at least 5 years. That is a small amount of experience with the brand and none with a "n" but I would still go with the Netgear.

Does either one have interchangeable collets? The 1/2" shaft router bits generally give a better cut, but you need the 1/4" for some things.

You may also want to stick with name brands like DeWalt or Porter-Cable. I don't recognize the brands you mentioned

I recommend Buffalo's AirStation™ Nfiniti™ Wireless-N High Power Router & Access Point WZR-HP-G300NH.

I also use one of their access points to convert my Panasonic Blu-ray HD recorder from Cat. 5 to wireless. Brilliant performer.
