    Hello,
    My wireless router just died on me and i am looking to get a new one. It's for my pc, macbook pro, 360, and my ps3, everything is going to b wireless but my pc.
    Currently looking at the NETGEAR WNDR3700, it's awesome but i am not sure if i need all the options even though dual band would be awesome, still... the price is kind of high. Just wondering if all the extra stuff is worth the price if the speed performance is the same. I'm also looking at some cheaper routers like the Belking N+ or the WRT320N/310N. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Get the sysco basic wireless router. It's got much more NAT throughput that nything on the market to date, and it comes with gigabet ports for your LAN usage. It does go gigabet through it's WAN RJ45 also, but most of us don't get OC12 to the curb! Ha, Ha.

    My lappy is going to arrive very soon and im also looking for an N router. The Netgear WNDR3700 looks like a mighty beast! All be it a bit on the pricey side.
