WD TV Live Plus Streaming with Netgear WNCE2001 Universal Wifi Adapter

Thanks to all who replied. I ended up getting a Netgear WNR1000v3 (N150) 802.11n router from Best Buy. The unit was an “open item” and the tag didn’t indicate there was anything missing. As you can imagine I was a little ticked off that the power supply and the installation CD were both missing! Luckily my power supply for the Linksys router worked and I was able to program the router by typing in the default IP address.

Once I got the router connected and set up all the settings I synced the WNCE2001 adapter with the router with what Netgaer calls “Push N Connect”. Once you press the WPS button on the adapter and place it in sync mode, you press the WPS button on the router and your done. No configuring needed!

I played four movies of different sizes and types (avi, mkv, mp4). Some were 720p  and all streamed flawlessly!

The bottom line is if you expect to stream movies ditch those old 802.11g routers for a wireless n router.
