Hi, i currently have a standard o2 router and im getting sick of the conncetion dropping and other various problems.
I have been looking at various N routers as when i'm back at my parents i have to access my NAS over wireless. On standard wireless this struggles with any HD playback. Hence my attention focusing on N routers.
I already have a netgear wn111 adapter.
I have been looking at Draytek routers as i've heard these are renowned for being very high quality bits of kit. Should a 2710n or 2820n router give me 300Mbits/s over wireless with my netgear adaptor?
I dont really understand what the differences are with N. e.g. Draft 1, Draft 2, full N, dual band etc.
On the netgear website it recommends i get a netgear WNR854T router for optimal speeds. However this is quite cheap compared to the draytek kit. Can pick one up for around the £20-30 mark where as Draytek stuff being closer to £100
Would a netgear one do the job? As far as i can see i dont understand why i would spend more. I've had netgear routers/equipment in the past and i've been quite happy with it.
Am i also correct in thinking that if i'm running at 300Mbits/s wireless a 100 base network connection will limit it? So therefore i need a gigabit connection on the router
Thank you in advance for any help/tips!
