SOLVED new wireless router / AP

[wagex]

ok, so my movies are finally starting to saturate my 54Mbps wireless G atleast ive been getting 100% of it throughput and its lasted this long. now im going to venture into wireless N.

1. a decent wireless N access point / router that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. prefer access point as im going to be using pfsense soon and wont need any routing functions, the current router im using has dhcp disabled so its an AP pretymuch.

2. is there a way to force them to N only? id like the router to handle only N so i can leave the other on to handle the G devices so its not in bgn mode which from what ive seen is annoying as hell. lol

my htpc is the only one that uses/needs N.
i might end up running cat5e into the house like i have done with the whole mancave but im sure wireless N will get me what i want, just more throughput.

edit:
well i found this one i dont trust reviews on the egg for this kind of stuff as is usually idiots who dont know what an AP / router is.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=33-704-052 has removable antennas which could be a good thing.

edit i just looked on that your list matt and that one i randomly picked out of my cheap assedness was supported on the list and seems to have a decent ammount of memory. i think if i grabbed that up and a decent gigabit switch il be in streaming business 300Mbps of streaming powa that is

 

[I.M.O.G.]

Last time I went about choosing a router I used this list:
http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

From that list, I know it can run DDWRT, so I wouldn't be stuck on some proprietary firmware that may suck. Beyond that, I looked at hardware - I wanted a good chipset running a better than average frequency, so the processor was strong, and I wanted a good amount of RAM and FLASH memory. Combining these things, what you are getting in the router is a decent network appliance - you can run other things on the router if you choose to, and they will run relatively well compared to weaker routers. You can run things like file servers, torrent clients, etc. Beyond doing other stuff, with more chipset power and RAM, the router is less likely to bog down when heavily utilized.

So that covers my approach to router hardware, but I'm not sure what the latest "good" chipsets are in routers. I also don't know anything about which ones feature the best antennas, which is most important probably to actually yielding your best throughput.

For your specific questions:

1. I addressed this in a roundabout way, hopefully others can support some specific hardware choices here

2. Anything that runs DDWRT can be forced to N only
