That's the standard Linksys that tons of people buy. It will handle an entire house, no problem.

I don't think it will help that much, tbh. I would get n N router and an N adapter.

There's no point in that at all. He doesn't need that kind of range, and the added connectivity speed of N is completely lost on DSL, not that it does anything for Cable either.

Didn't know that it was "useless" on DSL tbh.

However, it is the ONLY way I can stream BBC iplayer to my laptop in the back of my house... so it is not useless for cable.

I heard you can also flash the bios of the router to make it work better any idea?
