Which 1 Shall I Buy?

Hey guys I have narrowed my search for a good wireless router down to 2, from 10 yesterday.
But I want to see which 1 you guys would choose, and why.

Netgear WPNT834UK Rangemax 240 Wireless cable router

OR

Money is no object as I can get discounts from friends etc etc...

i want a router which is very fast, has excellent signal strength, and is very fast as I need it to stream films, music, and games. Also it must be good for gaming with no stutters/signal loss.

Here is a link to a site with info for the routers:

Netgear = http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/953466...r/Product.html

Belkin = http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/327308...4/Product.html

Here is where you can find comparisons between there signal strength..

I liek the Belkin but to get full benefit you need N grade adapters

Honestly you may be better off with homeplug 85mbps

when you say streaming games what do you mean?

Re: Which 1 Shall I Buy?

But the newer 85mbps should be as good as wireless g standard. Remember wireless isnt exactly speedy gonzales either
