Thats a bit pricey!!

It's true, it is, but you can pick up second hand ones for a good 30-40% off. They have just released a new model with a new form factor so the older ones are going cheaper.

If im upgrading I want brand new, not someones cast offs

Just remember, think it's important for you to know that you would still need the existing router as it is a modem. The Extreme is only a router, it doesn't have a built-in modem.

Upgrade the laptop's wireless to n with a usb wireless receiver and get a router that does dual-band and is n-wireless.

Any recommendations for the router?  or will the one i linked to do the job ok?

Any reason why you want to go for the ac model? ac at the moment is like pro-n - a standard that isn't formally out nor widely available. You might as well go for the n version.

I looked at your model because I was considering it (think I was looking at the 66 version). What do you have? ADSL? Cable? You need to work out what you want/need. I'm still on ADSL broadband so I'd either need to keep my current ADSL router and connect the new one to it, or find one that has ADSL built in.

Dont know the difference if I'm honest   

I went based on the fact I have stuff by the manufacturer and the reviews on Amazon

Or do you mean the Asus?? I saw it on Gadget Show the other week 

On ADSL; cable / fibre isnt due for the foreseeable future living here in the valleys 

I simply want something thats a bit quicker, can easily handle all the stuff I have and improved range throughout the house
