Don't need a particularly strong wi-fi as all devices that use it are within 50 feet of the router, and my walls are paper thin >_>
That aside the main reason for this is that my stupid Comcast all-in-one (my own Motorola Surfboard) is giving me a lot of annoyances lately and I'm almost done with my NAS/HTPC box so I want a good router to stream the info through the house or at least to myself and my TV.
Number of computers connected wirelessly is 2-3, usually 1-2 at most times of day. As far as wired devices there's 3 computers currently and they're almost always going on something, and my box is going to be adding to that so definitely want something that doesn't mind a lot of inter-network traffic.
I have an old Asus somewhere in the house that worked excellently except that the firmware was atrocious and it recognized custom firmwares like tomato and refused to flash to them. All the routers I've used last few years have terrible firmware and don't like saving settings or port forwarding.
So with that said recommendations? Would prefer to keep this in the neighborhood of $100 or less.
