When I set up my Wireless G network many years ago, I went through a number of wireless routers that barely worked (probably 4 or 5, I gave them away to friends). They would drop connections, slow to a crawl or simply disappear when you tried to do anything more demanding than basic web browsing from a single computer at a time.
Now I'm looking to upgrade to N finally, and I'm prepared to pay more to get a device that actually works. So how much do you have to pay to get a device that isn't just a glorified paperweight with blinking lights? What's a good "semi-professional" brand (as opposed to the Netgear, D-Link etc. junk)? I do want dual-band, to avoid 2.4 GHz congestion (I live in an apartment complex), and I would prefer an all-in-one device (access point, broadband router and wired switch).
