Vista - Good wireless router for Vista Ultimate

For all those looking for a good router for wireless networking using Vista
Ultimate (and possibly other Vista versions), this might be helpful.

The Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti Dual-band Gigabit Router (Model
WZR-AG300NH) is Certified for Windows Vista, and has been working flawlessly
with my new HP laptop PC with Vista Ultimate (64-bit). The router broadcasts
simultaneous A and G wireless networks (it also has draft-N capability, but
my laptop only has an ABG adapter), and my laptop is able to connect
flawlessly. It has very strong signal strength and I can switch between A
and G networks anywhere in my house. It also has the latest WPA2 security,
SSID encryption and MAC address security features.

This is one of the very few routers that actually has the Certified for
Windows Vista logo (which represents the fact that it has successfully passed
rigorous testing of all Vista functionalities). Check the Vista hardware
compatibility list for routers at

The only downside is that this router is rather expensive at $250.

The D-Link DIR-655 -- Xtreme N Router also works great with Vista and has the
features you mentioned, and didn't cost $250

One of the features of the Buffalo that I wanted was the simultaneous
broadcasts of A at the 5 Ghz frequency and, G and N at the 2.4 GHz frequency
to allow smooth, interference-free streaming of video and VoIP at 5 GHz
(which is not crowded) while using the more crowded 2.4 GHz frequency for
other networking apps.

This router also gets up to 300Mbps wireless speed.

I wonder how this compares to the D-link.

My laptop only connects to the router at 130mbps I'm gonna have to see if I
can tweak that.
