    Hi guys,
    I realise these kind of questions tend to pop up regularly, but I thought 'me too!'

    I've got a ps3, and have been fooling around with using ps3media server to transcode movies onto the ps3. The only problem is that I can't seem to scrape together enough bandwidth to have a decent stream of HD files.

    The internal network is composed of an old netopia wirelss modem, and a couple of wireless g + n adapters on the various computers. The house is rented, so I can't tear up the place and wire it for gigabit ethernet 8-/

    The ps3 I think uses an early version of wireless g, so I'm trying to get around its limitations by using an ethernet over powerline 200mbps adapter - one plugged into the wireless modem router, and the other to the ps3. (which seems to work - though I don't know how to test the connection speed on the ps3 yet)

    The problem is that my files are upstairs on a different pc (which has an N adapter) - and I think the bottleneck is streaming from there to the router.

    So I thought I'd replace the netopia modem router and see if that makes a difference.

    Can anyone recommend a wireless N modem router that I can put tomato or DD-WRT on, that's dual band (so G+N at the same time), with a couple of ethernet ports, and possibly NAS usb support? (recently lost a hd, better plan for that too).

    Any comments? Cheers!
    Rob.
