Wireless router with greatest range?

We purchased a Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router for a fair sized multi-room
facility and discovered that the posted range of the router only applies to
PCs with Pre-N Belkin cards. Since most of our people have other wireless
cards (D-link, Linksys, etc.)we are looking for a different brand of router
but would like to purchase the one with the greatest range that can be
accessed by the greatest number of people.

Has anyone had experience with the Linksys SRX-WRT54GX2 or the D-link
DI-634M or are there other brands of wireless routers that we should be
looking into. One additional item that we should be looking at is the
router's compatibility with wireless range extenders, if necessary.

What's the experience out there? Any help and/or recommendations would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Netgear WPN824 - best Ive tested

All the routers are limited by law as to the power of their transmission,
consequently the range of std. routers not substantially differ. Your Belkin
Pre N router uses the latest MIMO technology and they claim significantly
increased range for it, even with ordinary receivers.
Consequently your best course of action is to invest in Belkin Pre N cards.

Of course, such an investment, in non-standard technology, could be obsolete
next year.

How so? It will presumably keep right on working, doing the same job it was
purchased to do.
