If you can't or don't want to upgrade your router, and you find the stream getting interrupted in the middle of a movie, then you can just sync the movie to the Apple TV and watch it directly from there.
Well I haven't bought a wireless router yet. I was planning on buying a router fairly soon and then buying Apple TV (or whatever else) down the road. But I want to buy a router that will be able to handle the load. I wouldn't want to rent a streaming movie and have it crap out.

So any suggestions would be great. I figured I need n, but there are all kinds of routers out there. Extreme n, dual band, gaming, etc. I'm not sure if spending the extra money is worth it.
