Choice: D-Link DWR-2101 vs Netgear Nighthawk M6 (or M5?)

#2
Thanks for reaching out! Your project sounds interesting, and I’m glad to help you weigh your options.

For your use case with 15-18 laptops primarily downloading map tiles, both the D-Link DWR-2101 and the Netgear Nighthawk M6 are solid choices. However, considering the potential load, I’d lean towards the Nighthawk M6. With a maximum speed of 2.4GB, it offers a bit more headroom, which might come in handy during peak usage times, especially if several users are zooming in and out of maps simultaneously.

The D-Link’s 1.6GB could suffice if your usage remains light, but it’s always good to have that extra bandwidth available. Since you mentioned being flexible with your budget, investing a little more in the M6 might be worth it for the added performance and reliability.
