My upload speed, as measured by speedtest.net, was in the range of Kbps instead of Mbps.&#160; Download speeds were inconsistent, in the rage of 10 Mbps to 14 Mbps.<\/p>\n<p>I researched a ton of routers, and my criteria was to have two radios, support 802.11N, and QoS.&#160; I also wanted it to support bridging, AP, and act as a repeater.&#160; Devices I considered, included Netgear, Cisco E4200, and the Buffalo N300.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m delighted with the Buffalo N300, which I picked up from Amazon for $65.&#160; Setup was very easy.&#160; I didn\u2019t use the automated install software, I just connected to the router directly and configured the router since I was familiar with the DD-WRT software (v24SP2-MULTI (03\/21\/11) std).&#160; <\/p>\n<p>The router web interface was a bit sluggish initially, but after the initial configuration was completed, and it was running for 15 minutes it became much more responsive.<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t used any of the client connection features, and connected manually.&#160; All our wireless devices connected seamlessly, and one test call on our VoIP phone worked.&#160; I won\u2019t have time to test our Roku and Netflix streaming until the weekend, and will test VoIP calls, including international, later this week.<\/p>\n<p>Initial speedtest.net results below:<\/p>\n<p>Before \u2013 Linksys WRT54G<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/testmigration9367.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/image.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none;
