Hi,

Im looking into getting a new router to replace my Netgear WPN824 because basically, its crap.

Looking into Wireless N as im getting a new laptop in a few weeks which will have the capability. I also want Gigabit ethernet.

I was just wondering if the CPU in this router will be up to transferring 20Mbps from WAN-WLAN and WAN-LAN. At the moment, the WPN824 cant deliver 20Mbps from WAN-WLAN.

Also wondering if this router will cope with 50Mbps if i decide to upgrade to this?

Thanks

They are one of the more high end makes and potentially have the performance you require.

I would look for reviews of the product by magazines and other users.

your original post sounded like you were a business user or something.. why the need for such routers? surely you can find something inexpensive yet effective imo

This D-Link does up to 300mbps and is £35 from Amazon.
