Any recos for a good wi-fi router? Just some home office type stuff (laptop, ipad, printer) and the occasional netflix movie or NCAA2014 game on ps3.

Thanks in advance

AT&T Uverse has theirs built into the modem. I would love to know if I could supplement it with something, but I doubt I can.

I work from home and would love to have blazing fast interweb speed.

Netgear or Linksys.

I have the NG at home and it works like a charm. Linksys at the office and it's a bitch to set your parameters.

I'd got with NG for your home.

Set it to bridge mode and enable DHCP on your new router...

TP-LINK TL-WR741ND (N150) or their N300 series is great for the money :).

+1
Try to get one that can operate on two or more different channels and is "N" standard. Of course, all of your hardware needs to also be N standard, but most routers are also backwards compatible.

I bought the predecessor to this one--an ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router. I put it into repeater mode and hardwired it to my existing AT&T DSL modem / router. It works perfectly. The underlying modem/router actually handles IP assignments, so in my particular application it is just fancy range extender, but I have been impressed with how well it functions in that role. I have an actual (Amped Wireless) range extender farther away that connects to the ASUS wirelessly, and the whole system works extraordinarily well. I also use the ASUS to push a Slingbox feed to various places outside the house, and I have never had a problem with bandwidth--even at 100+ feet and through several walls.
