A couple of questions. Do you need/want dual band N? Is some or most of your home already wired with Ethernet cable?[/quotemsg]

Yes i woud want with dual band N because i choud tray to stream from phone to smarthtv or other diveses if i woud like to do that and i think its the future of home wireless network, and ehernet cable is only from my fiber box terminal to my pc the rest of the divises need wireless network ....

What is your approximate desired budget and describe a bit of your house layout -- one or two story, brick or wood frame construction, long and narrow, how many walls from the router to the other end?

Do you have many close neighbors with G or N networks (you can use the free INSSIDER on a wireless laptop or desktop to determine this).

All of these will help give you a better recommendation on how to set up your wireless and the best device, as even with N you may need a wireless access point at one end under some circumstances.

Its a average home not that narrow rooms, there 3 m hight and 3/4 m long and at lest 2-3 walls to pass through , brick wall but i want to have network in my yard also, like 20 m at least from the router or more with a decent speed

If the router is near the middle you should be good with either of those N routers, if at one end you may need to set up a second unit on the other end as an access point. You will get the best penetration through walls with 2.4GHz compared to 5GHz, but there are usually more neighbors on 2.4GHz so more interference.

Gaming or streaming video is usually the most demanding of bandwidth, so the closer those are done to the router location the better the result -- if you try to stream to the opposite end of the house it will probably be unacceptable.
