    My new DV6567cl laptop came with a wireless N radio. It works great with my G router. I hear N is much faster and has greater distances. If I were to replace my G router, what N router should I get? I have a Belkin now and the Wireless Advisor doesn't recognize it and therefor will not configure. I can do it through Vista just as easy I suppose. Anyways, I figured someone has done there homework and would have an opinion or recommendation.

    Thanks is advance.

    Cool - Looks interesting. Does this router work with the Wireless Assistant? Is there any value to using this tool? Thanks for the link.

    I never use wireless assistant, it's just bloatware in my eyes. The built in Windows wireless works just fine.
