linksys e3000 review:
Pros: Fast broadcasting. Highly recommended for fast internet connection. good range , I have many walls blocking me from the router and i still have full wireless bars.

Cons: The included setup disk software with linksys e3000 support Windows only, but the installation can be done manually if you can find the default password in the very limited documentation..

Bottom Line: linksys e3000 will meet your needs for sure. I stream HD movies without lag with this dual band router, play games, talk on skype...
