Hi: I'm going to replace my D-link DIR-655 very soon as with now using the following devices: PC,PS3(streaming from netflix),Ipad 3, Laptop, sometimes 2 or more of these items it seems really is no longer able to do the job(If I'm using say my CPU(On youtube) and have a person using anything else listed above the youtube video's really lag to the point I go off the net,conversely if I'm the only person using the network it runs just fine. Will be upgrading the network card using a D-link DWA-552 (I think that is the model number?)Here are what has been recommended so far what do you think? Thanks for the help!!

Quick question, what your bandwidth with your IP?

I had a D-Link DIR-615 (I think that was the model) that recently died on me, and I replaced it just last week with an Asus RT-N56U and seems to be working great so far. Not sure what the difference is between my model and the RT-N66U.

I just bought a WD My Net N900. It is a dual band one (2.4 and 5.0) with 7 gigabit ports.

I also am on Delta Cable 40mps. Seems to work great for the family.

Only issue with it, is that it stops working every now and then and I have to unplug, reset it again. Searching the web, it seems to be a firmware issue.

I have the asus duel band. Works great. No loss of connection. Have everything hooked up. Have 2 PS3,iPad,iPhones, laptop. Still had connection about 50 yards.

I just got the Asus 560U and love it! It's very fast on 2.4 & 5ghz with good range. I never had a Asus router before but it had good reviews so I decide to take a chance and am very happy with it
