Hey guys. I went to best buy today and figured since I had a birthday coming up I'd treat myself to a few things and make my home setup a lot cooler. I'm always running out of hard drive space, being forced to back them up to dvds or other external drives so it's always a hassle to go through each external drive or backed up dvds to get a file or something I need so I picked up a WD 4TB cloud storage network drive. Now I have a centralized data storage device I can access remotely from any of the devices in my house which is pretty cool not having to use all those cables. Tomorrow I am going to configure the media center on this device and set it up so I can stream stuff to my flat panel LED smartTV/HDTV
and my projector so now I can stream media to my tv in the living room or to my projector in my room all from the convenience of my laptop. Now I'll be able to stream movies or tv shows from netflix or amazon with a few clicks. I setup this projector in our room so me and the wife can watch movies and stuff it's like being in a mini-theatre. It's a setup I'd highly recommend. It's not that expensive and now we can lay in bed, find a movie or whatever, and stream it. Anyway, I didn't mean to go on and on but I want to get a better router and I was hoping for some suggestions. Right now all I have is a linksys 2.4Ghz wireless router and it was just a cheap one I picked up over a year ago. Now I have so many more devices and now that I'll be setting up a home entertainment media center I'm going to need something a lot better. I was thinking about picking up a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router EA4500 running Cisco's Cloud Connect Firmware but I read a review saying its 2.4Ghz band performance wasn't so hot. So what do you guys think? I'm looking for something in the 150-400 dollar price range. Thanks for the input
