I second the Apple Airport Extreme production.  I’ve had one for 3 years and haven’t ever had an issue with it.  The latest ones will work dual band, and you can even segment the network so you can have a “guest” network and a “private” network offered wirelessly.  The configuration is simple.

Buy Apple’s Airport Extreme if you don’t want to spend a lot of time setting up and/or supporting a device. You won’t regret it. If you don’t mind fiddling, any dual-band N router that’s capable of running the open-source DD-WRT firmware can be great fun and quite capable once you’ve configured it to your liking.

Subject: [MSUNAG] mindless home wireless question

Hi All,

Don't ya love a good flame-fest?  About 4pm today I made some popcorn,
sat back and enjoyed the action!

I realize this is a bit off-topic, but does anybody have a
recommendation for a wireless router with "N" protocol support for home
use?  Anyone experienced with them (bought more than one)?

Clients are mainly Apple laptops, if that matters.  There will be some
non-N clients.  Reliability, ease of setup and range are more important
that absolute bandwidth.

Thanks,
Tom Rockwell
