What's the biggest difference between this and the N300 or N600? I just got XFINITY "Blast" speed internet and want the best bang for my buck.

I got the N450 and it works great on Comcast Internet. It has more ethernet ports and I can hook more streaming devices

We have obtained several of the lightning deals that sold out very quickly. Tips: Make sure your computer and browser are up to date and without excessive plug-ins or extensions. A fast internet connection with low latency and fast upload is key. Speedtest.net is a great place to check your connection. Mine was reported with 1 ms ping, 151.4 MB download speed and 168.7 MB upload speed. Gotta love the dedicated (un-shared) fiber optic to the home.I might add that we live in a fairly rural area in the rocky mountains (~30,000 population in an area the size of Connecticut)

I have both the 7000 and 8000. I find 8000 quicker on gaming (wired connection). The 8000 is also likely to have more updates gping forward like QOS (like the X4) to be released in Nov. Both are good routers and you shouldn't be disappointed. Good luck.

My experience with my rocku and the N600 used for streaming is that you will loose half the connection speed verses a direct connection to your At&T U -verse router which will naturally lower the quality of your picture, audio should be OK. The N600 will stay connected unless you have too much interference in your area ie. Other routers on your channel

I went for the dn1000 instead of the 810, because of the GUI. Other than that I really didnt see much of a difference in spec wise. My friend has the 810 and I will be receiving mine next week.

For me, the AC it´s not good at all. The range is not as good as the N router. For example, I have my AC router in one room and my computer in another room, very close, and I prefer always the N connection because is faster. Maybe the AC is good if you are in the same room, but not for all your house. Next time I will be buying a N900 router with dual band (450+450), not an AC router.

I just found the 5GHz for the 1st time on my Samsung Galaxy S3...my 2 laptops don't see it either, but it doesn't matter, they work fine with the N600's 2.4...as we get newer stuff it will utilize the 5GHz...

I did lot of research on why additional $100 for similar spec TV. I found 2 major diff1. less HDMI port2. Lack of built in WIFI. But there is Ethernet port on 6003 and one can buy WI-FI adopter and get it going. BestBuy suggested (infact demanded) to only use Samsung adopter which is about $60.

Hello, FRANKLIN SPRINGER.I have used it with the Internet and DLNA and that last one does not have more of downloading 10Mbps and promotion when in the description is selling like high-speed even of 300Mbps.Try to use it in the USB ports with hard drive of 1TB and also gave the same downloading speed and promotion.The reference it mistakes telephony in the description and I thought it was a servers and SIP for customers only SIP.The truth is the high cost is preferable to buy a Buffalo for the same price, and even less since the end just use wireless Internet for DNLA since it does not do me at that speed.

I considered the N600 before making my purchase. I ended up going with the d6200 because of the 'ac' features and speed. N band seems slow by comparison now, at least for me.

I've never really gotten that much on my N150. To be honest I bought it to be used as a bridged access point for my smoothwall wireless(purple) port. It handles my ROKU HD , my Nokia lumia 521 phone and two laptops without any noticeable lag in streaming. It's ultra-cheap and it gives you what you pay for. Still you can try the WRT Tomato tweak and see if you can coax a little more out of it.

Honestly, it all depends on what you need the router for. If you want decent connection speeds and the ability to wirelessly stream music to your stereo, I'd go with the express. ?You can also take it anywhere to set up a wireless network. However, the new Airport Extreme has its perks as well. Although not as portable and a bit more expensive, it has a far greater range, you can attach an external hard drive and use it as a Network Accessible Storage device without setting up a server. You also get N-Speeds with newer intel models. To be honest though, unless you are streaming video content or constantly download movies and other huge files, N speeds aren't necessary, at least not yet. Another flaw is that the N standard isn't quite figured out yet and though it may always remain constant for your current computer, it may not for future hardware. I must also point out that anyone connecting to your network without a compatible N-speed card or using wireless G standards forces you to switch your airport settings to a lower speed- 802.11g and 802.11n cannot run on the same channel. Therefore, if you want constant N-speeds, you have to update the rest of your wireless computers (if you have any). Both are great buys, in the end it becomes down to what you will utilize most.

I live in Naperville, IL about 40 miles from Chicago. I would check some other Best Buys. Just look on the side of the box if you see i7-4510 and WLAN: AC+BT4.0 its the newer model, the only difference on the cpu is about .2ghz on low end and .1 on the high end, but WiFi works perfect! and it is dual band

NOT SURE, Robert . . . I was on Century Link with a Westell model and the 600N really 'blows-it-away', SIMPLY WITH A MUCH NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN SPEED. I use mine 'hard-wired' with my iMac and MagicJack using 2 of the 4 Ethernet ports. Now, "ASSUMING" that ATT and basically ALL 'PROVIDERS' use the products that 'win' their 'bid' at the LOWEST cost, (like NASA), I have to "ASSUME" it may be of the same, LOW PERFORMANCE as what I originally had. I used theirs for the FREE, one-year period, and got this IMMEDIATELY afterward. But, unlike NASA, selecting the LOW-BID / MEETING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS products isn't gonna "KILL" anyone! I am glad / happy with my choice, NOT being a 'techie' or 'geek'. - Jay NOT SURE, Robert . . .

Please note that above I'm talking about the BDP - "N" 460 not the "S" 460. I can only assume that as far as SONY model number configurations go the "N" has some relation to network versus the "S" for system. Pure speculation on my part BTW.Also, in response to Michael's post above - current search of SONY's product capabilities and reviews as well as current support and firmware for the S560 indicates that it STILL DOES NOT does not have Nexflix (or other online streaming) capabilities - NOTHING has been added from a firmware perspective as of today anyway. This is THE negative written about the SONY S560 player. Please note that above I'm talking about the BDP - "N" 460 not the "S" 460.

I believe the N600 will be fine. the range and distance does not seem to be an issue for you

Yes in a way!! I have a basic package from my ISP. Only 6 MG. When I use the N900 I use it on a dual band setting. Putting out both 2.4GHZ and the 5GHZ. Some of the newer devices samsung Gal II for example can pick up the 5GHZ signal and my laptop can get about 4 bars in Win8.1. I didn't expect that speed. But it is only when I am up close about 0 to 20 feet away. But if I go outside in the yard then I loose bars on the Laptop but the Samsung Gal III comes in as soon as I hit the driveway, about 40 feet away. So it really depends on the newnest of the devices you use. As far as the Game consoles it adequate but that is not the fault of the N900 but the basic speed package I have. Trust me when I say this, the N900 is a great choice for a medium size household with slow speed. I can not attest to high speed broadband yet.
