MiniPCI wireless and router combinations

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if I could get some advice, I am about to upgrade my internet to a 20mb service and am in need of a new router. I want a gigabit wired router because I have a Gb NAS on my network. My computer is a Dell with a Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN mini-card.

What I'm trying to figure out is the best combination of minipci card and router. I want fast transfers to and from my NAS and good streaming capability over the wireless. I was thinking N but I know there are a few different technologies out there that require compatible hardware to work, MIMO and I think there is another standard as well. So what combination of minipci card and router should I get? (Please don't say Belkin because I have had nothing but problems with them.)

Right now i get about 2MB/s over my wireless and only about 8MB/s wired and I hope to do much better than that.

Thanks!
