Hello all! I am in the market for a new router that I will be connecting to a wall cat 5 outlet and bridging to another router across the house. This one will replace the current and will be the device I connect my pc and other streaming services to while the other just gives internet access to the other side of the house.

I have read reviews, scoured newegg, and price matched different units from major retailers. I am now looking to hear any personal experiences or recommendations.

I am currently deciding between these two routers:

Netgear N600

vs.

Belkin N600
 
Haha, okay so I now have two for this model of netgear. I would have just brainlessly bought a linksys I have done in the past, but the new models do not seem to perform like the older have. I will be connecting to through the wall to a linksys WRT150N
