Forum :: Lounge :: Which router would you recommend? E2500 or E4200

Its finally getting to be that time when I need to just give in and get me a wireless router. I've been searching around, and doing price checks to find the best one, but I'm not really sure which one will suit my needs. I really don't want to go over board but I want one that will last me at least 5+ years and be good enough to expand so I wont have to buy a new one 3 years down the line. Heck I am still use'n a blackjack cell phone from Cingular-pay as you go ftw! And yes I'm cheap. 

Based on you being cheap, go for the less expensive one. I bought a really cheap router (~50USD) a couple months ago and it covers our mid-sized house just fine. I use wired connections for my computer/xbox though; the only wireless thing is our Sonos sound system.

Moral of the story: A 40$ router will get the job done and cost you less.

The only reason to go for the more expensive one would be because you host a couple websites on top of a high traffic server. If your sites get a lot of traffic and your server actually does have 60 people on average, the more expensive one would be much less of a headache later on just because of the performance increase (I don't know the specs of either one, just assuming the pricey one is better).
