Router recommendations (Off-Topic)

The Apple AirPort Extreme is a very solid piece of hardware and you’d probably be just fine with it (I use a previous-gen AEBS and it’s just fine for XBL/PSN), but I might be concerned about the age of the current model. The last update to the AEBS was in June of 2013, so it’s going to be slower on Wi-Fi than more modern routers that have the benefit of more recent Wi-Fi specs. If absolute throughput isn’t an issue, though, it’s a solid choice.

Xenos’ router, on the other hand, is very nice, although you can find yourself in the weeds when it comes to configuration options if you start digging too much. Also, note that it’s huge and not overly attractive, in a Stealth Fighter kind of way (although Junior might dig it just because of that). :)
