I need to get a new router, my old D-Link Dir 600 is utter garbage and has always been garbage, according to everyone else that router just plain sucks. I believe it is also starting to die on me, aside from that it never worked the way I wanted it to. It's range is very small, it can't cover the entire house, even with a repeater bridge expanding the signal.
Anyway, I need a an N router that has long range, which operates at 2.4GHz, I have no issue with it if it brings a 5.0GHz radio but I won't be able to use it since where I live those sorts of frequencies are not available. I want to use it for streaming video, maybe gaming(I'm not much of a multiplayer person) and it should also perform well when there are about 5 devices connected to it. Speed probably won't matter since my connection isn't the greatest, but if the router can improve it, that'd be fine, although this is all up to how much the people at home are willing to pay the ISP.
Been looking at some routers, but I've been having a hard time deciding, looked up some Netgear routers and some Trendnet routers, but I didn't find anything. Any brand is fine, except for DLink I didn't have a very pleasant experience with them after all.
As for a wireless adapter, I've got an old EnGenius adapter, but it is outdated, it's drivers haven't been updated since 2009 and I believe it is also part of the reason why my PC has frequent disconnects. I should mention that I require a PCI Adapter for a desktop, but I'm open to suggestions with any USB adapters that might come to mind. I don't know if there's any difference, I just prefer having it inside my case instead of outside.
Thanks, in advance, any help will be appreciated. Price isn't an issue, in fact I'm looking for some of the more expensive routers, maybe the ones above $100.
