i wouldnt go out and buy the biggest baddest router until i had looked at my current situation, note that wireless n is basically for LAN only so if you're doing alot of file sharing it is a must but if all you're doing is internet browsing you might as well get a cheaper one because sure wireless n has over 300Mb/s but you can only get an internet connection around 100Mb/s

I've got a household with a LOT of high traffic - I use the wireless and LAN a lot because we have 4 laptops.
My routers go boom about once every year, they can't do ANY wireless traffic after that. I think they're burning out. Now it's cutting out even on the LAN! Would a gaming router help me out? |

From someone that installs routers on a daily basis, the Dlink DIR-655 and DIR-825 are both great routers, I am personally getting the 825 as soon as possible to replace my aging WRT-54G.
DD-WRT is a great 3rd party firmware, I began using it not to long ago, but it is not for everyone. I'm sure most people could get through it with a guide or someone who has used it before. But if you do not have any idea about the workings of a network it is not for you.

If I could expand on the original Question...
Is there a significant speed advantage to going for a dual band router? Given that a home/office might have cordless phones/other devices using the 2.4Ghz band? And if So, is there a recommendation for a router that supports dual band? |

I use a 2.4ghz router and three 2.4ghz phones and we have never had any problem with interference, i dont notice a speed difference even when the phones are being used.
