I'm currently running an old Linksys WRT-54G.

2 computers
2 smartphones
1 tablet
1 chromebook
4 tv's with a DirecTV Genie, but not all on at the same time. Will occasionally watch Netfilx.
In the future would like to try out a wireless camera in the house so I can check what's going on from my smartphone.

I don't need anything too crazy, hoping for something in the $100 range with sales coming over the holidays now.

What would you suggest?

Thanks,
Chad

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for a sale. Hoping it gets down to around $100.

Make sure you update its firmware if you get it. I would put DD-WRT on it, but that has to be done right. The reason why I say update the firmware is because the latest has a hacker vulnerability and this is the second time of a hacker vulnerability. Last time had something to do with the AI cloud.

Read this thread if you do want to put DD-WRT on that router. http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=171783&highlight=

i've been overly happy with my Asus AC66U running DD-WRT. Holiday sales may get it down to your price range.
