I upgraded to a linksys e4200 last year
http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-E4200-Dual-Band-Wireless-N-Router/dp/B004K1EZDS
back
also when it was on sale for $85 , using stock but upgraded firmware since
it works pretty reliably anyways. It worked pretty awesome when I was on
100mbps u/d , but now I am back to comcast which uses 45-60 d and 2-6 u
speeds

I have wireless n usb dongles due to my lame apartment setup and hardwood
floors, I have a 13" MBP 2nd to latest gen laptop, and then another laptop
from sager that has a "Killer™ Wireless-N 1202 802.11 A/B/G/N Wireless LAN
+ Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Module"

i also have a cc3000 but thats laughable b/g my ass, makes trying to do the
SmartConfig process a nightmare if I dont have any systems operating on g
(or b)
