[QUOTE="Ranjith Sai, post: 2024261, member: 58538"] Before you decide to buy a mid size router consider the following options If your requirement is to only play movie over wifi from a HDD, why not buy a 128GB pen drive load your movies and leave it on the USB port of tv? If you already have a decent wifi router, I would suggest you to a buy a used (but in good condition, good brand) 300mpbs router which supports dd-wrt. Flash dd-wrt and use it as a bridge (I have tried this using a a linksys e-900 router and used the ethernet port to connect to my TV) You can also use a bananapi (raspberry pi is also good, but has no sata support) and use it as your media player using your existing hdd or use a sata hdd. Anyway I have had good experiences with netgear and tp-link mid size routers and they have worked well for me. But don't expect too much out of these routers, as our Indian homes with thick concretes drops the signals. Many even suggest asus and I would suggest to go for an asus router. Sorry I can't suggest you one as without knowing definite requirements, layout, placement etc it would be tough to advice. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
