I think approx. 2000 sq. ft. Wasn't looking to spend quite that much. Right now I have our router placement on the main floor (basement below, bedrooms above).

What is your price point?

[bradliff]

$70-$80 if I can get good coverage with that. I'd even go for a good solid middle of the road, up to date router that's less expensive... and then get something that boosts range. Don't know if that's an option... Right now, the 601 - until it stopped being reliable - worked well for our bandwidth needs but the Enders of the house were sketchy range-wise... And we don't have a huge house.

Well if you think you can get into a DIR-868L you could find one on amazon:

I did find the new D-Link store and some refurbs if your interested as well:

Middle of the road could be the DIR-850L. IT would be on the cheap if you got a refurb. If you can stretch it, I recommend the DIR-868L though.
