Wireless Router + Adapter Recommendation

[dpau]

Hello all,

Looking to replace my archaic router / wireless adapters with a new N setup. Any recommendations? I'll admit I haven't kept up with wireless trends or equipment, so apologies for being so general and the laziness.

I do quite a bit of gaming, so something that is proven to in that respect is probably the highest priority for me.

Thank you.

Price limit?
Do you need gigabit LAN or WAN?
Dual band? Are you going to use 5ghz or 2.4ghz?

If no gigabit then

Just a few recommendations for now. If you want something more pricey or dual-band there are more.
If possible, I'd do wired for gaming, but that's just me. I save wireless for laptops or spots where running wires is impracticable.

No real price limit, though I'd like to keep things relatively practical ( < 200 for everything ).

I don't need gigabit, so the first link would work. Any recommendations for an adapter?

I'd love to keep it wired as well, but I've rearranged the bed room and the wires per the gf are "unsightly"...

Thanks again for the input.

Don't know about adapters. I would try to use the same manufacturer for router + adapter, but if you don't that's fine too. The only thing I'd look for is that is supports Win 7 and x64. A lot of the older ones don't support Win 7 or 64-bit Windows. Also since that router uses wireless-N 300, maybe get a adapter that can do 300 mbps too.

If the Antennae are stcuk between the are and the wall and are depressing the signal get an External Antenna with a few feet cable, replace the default Antenna and put it above the system clear from obstructions.
