Sorry: AirPort Express 802.11n (2nd Generation, small square white). Didn't watch TV tonight but at 60 down there shouldn't be much buffering, but then again it doesn't seem "instant" either.
Small 3br 1955 ranch. Walls slow down the wireless a bit, the router is in the living room which is 20' from my office and 15' from the TV - I work a lot on the LR sofa so not too worried about the walls in between there and my office. Fairly open line of sight from LR to TV (& Roku 3).
Would like big numbers but could certainly live with 200+ down (nice to have for faster TV) for $60 ish - that link Forrest provided looks promising as an alternative if I'm really going to top out at <200 down with APExpress. But the chart on this page shows 300/450 down, so not sure what's what here. Granted that's for the Extreme but they're both 802.11n so... ?
I want to say our computers top out at 100 down (just guessing from AP stats from the time period), but the Roku 3 I'd guess is a lot more capable, and I could also hard wire it. Computers are '09 MB 2.2ghz and mid-'10 MBP 2.4ghz, both 13". I know they're old, the fast speeds are mostly to benefit the TV.
