Hi, I am looking to purchase a wireless-n router for my home. &nbsp;I don't know if it is worth it to spend the money and buy a Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router or just get a Regular Wireless-N Router. &nbsp;I have movies, music, etc. on my desktop upstairs that would be streamed downstairs to my Home Theater. &nbsp;Also PS3 and Wii are thrown into this network. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Do I purchase Dual Band or Single? &nbsp;Would the streaming of movies/music even lag on an N network? &nbsp;The models i am looking at are Linksys (WRT400N) and (WRT160N).<br />
<br />
Thank you, <br />

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
