I have a Dlink DGL 4300; it works very well and has been for at least 5 years now. I don't need to replace it, but I don't know how long it's liable to last, so I've been looking at replacements. I'm looking at routers of the same quality, with a 5-port gigabit switch.
Of course, any new router will be 802.11n which is of course fine by me and the various guests who use the wireless. Except that I have an Engenius wired to it as an AP for the other side of the house (and the back-yard), which is 802.11g, and this setup works properly for "seamless roaming" around the place.
The question is: if I replace the DGL4300 with (say) a Netgear N600, will the "wireless roaming" still be seamless? If someone connects
802.11n and roams to the back-yard, what will happen? Or will I need a new AP as well?
