I see a lot of new routers out there. Pre-N, SRX, all sorts of stuff. It's hard to know what's a gimmick and what's real. We'll be moving soon and I'm going to need a pretty extended wireless network. Should I keep my Linksys and just work off that? Or shop for another router technology?

Thanks!

I would not spend money on the current preN, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#MIMO

I doubt that another Router would do better.

The best Method to Extend Wireless Coverage depends heavily on the Specific Environment.

Look at these pages they describe most of the options that are within the means of Entry Level users, and choose the one that fits you environment best.

Thanks. I'll have a look at those links. While I don't mind spending money on something that works, I don't want to buy something prematurely, either.
