router question! my devices need speed!

I have a

macbook pro uni 2.66
compal
gigabyte x48 DQ6 motherboard, Home Built Computer
apple 3GS iphone
PS3

I believe all have N compatible network specs
the compal has a switch for the 2.4 -5

and the gigabyte X48 DQ6 MB should also I believe ! the rest for sure is N

I got rid of verizon basic DSL and got roadrunner cable for the same price for a year with better speed so now I'm looking to get a router and was interested in the Linksys WRT610N

I was thinking about buying it but I'm not sure if this is the router for me, I keep the PS3 next to the Home built Gigabyte X48 DQ6 both are wired then I have the 2 laptops in other rooms and of course the iphone which isn't a big deal

One more thing to mention is these devices are running in other rooms at the same time because we don't stay in the same room using the internet so I need speed for a notebook in 1 room and at the same time I also need a speed for either the PS3 and computer in the other room going at the same time

So now what would be and great router for this set-up ?

Thanks In Advance !

 

2.4 - 5 (compal) does not mean it is wireless N. The ps3 is definitely not wireless N

that means to get optimal speed you need dual band so the wireless G devices do not slow down your wireless N devices.

Dual band routers continue to be pretty dodgy--the model you mention is one of the most costly and most dodgy. Normally I say you cannot go wrong with Linksys (they may not be the best, but they are never the worst), but that model has not gotten any rave reviews.

Unfortunately, the one I see most highly touted (dlink 825)was a bit of a stinker when I have played with one so I do not feel comfortable recommending it. Of course, my sampling size (1) is not very large and therefore unreliable as a measure.

 

compal wireless card thats in my compal is in the link below,

Now their using Intel® 5100AGN 802.11a/b/g/ Draft n Wireless LAN

I can't believe they wouldn't put in a N card in a PS3, I didn't know that because it's not mine

 

from the p3 faq
<blockquote>Make sure your network router supports Wi-Fi connections. If the router does not support Wi-Fi, you will need to use a Wireless Access Point (WAP) that supports 802.11b or 802.11g wireless protocols. If you have a Wireless Access Point that is 802.11n, you will need to make sure you set it so that it is in mixed mode (accepts 802.11b or 802.11g signals).

</blockquote>

So, to ensure your wireless N connections to not slow down to wireless G, you need a dual band router

 

on some routers, it's also a good idea to disable abg networking to force the machine to connect with N. Many N routers will downgrade to abg if there are any problems with N connections.
