I live with housemates and we need internet + wireless access to it. I have 2 housemates in a small house. I watch netflix streaming movies fairly often and do not want it to kill the internet speed for my other two housemates.
My housemate is buying the router and has a max of about $100 to spend. Are there good reasons to buy a linksys or something in that price range over an Airport Express? I expect the Airport Express probably has less range? But by how much and whether or not speed or quality of signal within that range would be lower is something I have no idea about.
Can anyone shed some light on this topic for me? I'd prefer an Airport Express, but if it would be slower for people than a linksys of same price, then perhaps the Linksys'd be better. She can't afford the Airport Extreme.
