Thanks for all the input. Now I just need to decide which one to get,
but at least the choices are narrowed down.
Follow up question:
Can I leave my old wireless network up and live while I'm installing the
new one, then transition the devices over one at a time? The old one is
named "home" so I could name the new one "new home" and then reconnect
everything, get the MAC filtering, passwords, etc all up one at a time
and if there were any glitches at least the old one would be running as
a backup.
In addition to the desktop (hard wired to the router) I'm running two
netbooks in the house, plus two regular Kindles, a Kindle Fire and a
Nook HD+.
Out in the shop I have an old range booster, another netbook, and
another wifi device that makes my solar panel interface think it's
plugged into a hardwired modem. I have no idea how I ended up with all
that hardware, but that seems to be the way it goes.
