So I am going to be upgrading my router not by choice though I have a linksys e4200 that has decided to just up and quit on me I have tried everything to get it back even 30/30/30 reset. So i have been looking around and I think I have narrowed it down to 3. I would love to hear some suggestions I am running a 40/5 line with multiple wireless electronics and a couple of wired pc's. Any one try these yet? Any advice is greatly appreciated.


The 3 Choices

Linksys EA4500
Netgear N900
Belkin N750

I have EA4500 which you probably know a lot about already since you had an e4200.

My EA4500 works great with (i) VoIP phone, (ii) internet TV, (iii) 2 wired PCs, (iv) 1 wireless PC, (v) 2 wired ethernet printers, (vi) 2 wireless phones, (vii) wireless Kindle. There is an ethernet switch connected as well to the router for bridging the second room.

I also have a hard drive attached to the USB port, and it's surprisingly fast.

The wireless devices are all 2.4 Gig, mix b/g/n with mixed WPA/WPA2, and they work great.

It has QOS, and phone conversations can happen while watching netflix with no issues (10/1 line).
