[dba-Tech] Home Network Setup

I'm assuming wireless.
I honestly have a hard time with this. I have so many bad experiences with
new wireless routers that I stick with the old ones as long as I can. 
Latest fiasco - the highest cost Cisco/LinkSys consumer model $200. First
one lasted 15 minutes and died. Had to wait for a warranty replacement.
Installing it was just a pain. Works good now and has extremely high trough
put but man, can't say it was worth it. Could've run a lot of wire in the
time it took to do that.
Trendnet
NetGear
Dlink
Intellinet
Etc.
Just haven't found a company that produces good reliable routers anymore.
Netgear was on a role a few years ago but then took a turn for the worse.

So after all that whining ;-) 

It comes down to - throughput performance vs reliability - not sure how to
do that. The Cisco model is very fast.

Speaking of routers, ours is old, what's a good way of determining if
upgrading would improve performance?
