I know that most of you probably use gigabit (wired) networking for your computers, but I don't have an easy way to do that where I'm at.
As such, I'm considering upgrading my old 802.11g network to a dual-band 802.11n one. I'll be using two desktops (one being an HTPC), and two laptops which already have Intel 5100agn Wi-Fi cards. What I'm wondering, is what some good dual-band routers and desktop cards/adapters would be. I'd prefer a USB adapter, although PCI would be OK if it would offer noticeably better performance.
I definitely will need dual-band capability, since the HTPC is currently being overwhelmed by a lot of Wi-Fi signals in the 2.4GHz range.
