Which Netgear Router is the better??

My sister is getting her laptop for christmas and i need a router so that we can both have internet. I was looking at the Netgear WPN824 or the Netgear WPNT834 routers. Which one has the most coverage and fastest speed?

I would not worry about spending the money on a MIMO or the Range max as nextgear calls it.

Just go with the standard G router I think they go for about 29 bucks after rebate at Best buy right now.

The best Netgear router is not to get a Netgear router.

Maybe I'm just jaded from seeing hundreds of them die here at work, who knows. I'd go with a Linksys or a Cisco if you can find one cheap.

My Netgear WGR614v5 works fine... 80% of the time!
I know those with Linksys and D-Link routers are happy...
