Hello --- me again...Sorry, some more questions on routers...
1. I know you recommended the ASUS. They are pretty pricey compared to others. Also, the one you mentioned (N16) is not dual band. Any reason for not recommending the dual band? Does it not work well?
2. What about Netgear WNDR 3800 or WNDR 4000 or Linksys EA 3500 or EA 4000? Have they just gone down hill? The old Linksys was so good.
3. You said you wouldn't touch a refurb. What about if it was from Newegg or the manufacturer? Still bad news?

Thanks for the extra consideration. Just want to explore all possibilities...
