Duplex house needs Internet connection!
We will be moving out in two months. New home is a duplex one. Thats why, i need a wireless device that will meet and fit my needs. Inside that duplex apartment, radio signals should be propagated vertically involving two flat room/floor (up/down) in order for 2 computers to receive Internet connection.
What would you suggest ?

My personal favorite for home and small business use:
wndr3700
I've had this one running for 10 months now, not a single reboot required. I like the idea of dual bands, so I can put the slower "G" items on one, and leave the "N" devices for me. My router actually sits in the kitchen, and I get full coverage on a 1900 sq ft two story townhouse easily. -

Pretty much any wireless device should have no problem covering your two floor duplex, provided that you don't have lead floors or something.Decide what to be and go be it. -

Depends on your modem whether you should get a wireless router or wireless access point. Some modems do NAT and DHCP for you and you could just get a WAP otherwise you'll need a wireless router.No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives. -

I have a variety of DSL modems/routers such as products from Linksys, Netgear, TPlink, zyxel and so on.
Which of them would you suggest me to buy (among them) and why?Monster PC specs(Packard Bell VR46) : Intel Celeron Dual-Core 1.2 GHz CPU , 4096 MB DDR3 RAM, Intel Media Graphics (R) 4 Family with IntelGMA 4500 M HD graphics.
