Too my surprise, my wife PC with built-in wireless card get very good signal (5 bars) too. The download/upload speeds are almost as good as HTPC next to E3200 with Ethernet wire. The wireless router is in a very thick wood armoire and it's two rooms away too. This is definitely great stuff. I couldn't believe that I put up with D-link for so long. :o

I bet if you pair the E3200 and E4200 with "Linksys Refurbished WET610N" you will able to stream all BD files over the network!
here's my $50/month cable 80GB allowed combined bandwith

So I had this sorta interesting plan of what I would do with the E4200 router. I have a normal crap 802.11g router provided by my ISP, which is hard connected to the wall. All of the necessary settings from the ISP are configured here.
I would hard connect the E4200 router to that, and then I'd hard connect the NAS to that and then connect all my other wireless devices to the 802.11n router instead for speed.
From there I was going to see about utilizing a VPN service, and I was going to try to have it start from the E4200 router. The idea being that I could have a guest 802.11g network that I could switch over to for tasks I didn't want to use the VPN connection for.
The primary function of course would be for UseNet access and your occassional torrent. Does this sound feasible?

I don't know about the rest, but you should probably see if there's any way to put the ISP router into bridge mode. Double NAT could potentially lead to problems.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about just say so and I'll write a quick explanation.

The guest access is very good option too, because I don't have to give my guest the full access to all my junk folders.
