Brand wise I can't say it's better, I have used both. Of the unit is in a centralized location you should have no problems with speed. N vs AC is the speed at which your device will use to communicate, it will broadcast both and your older devices will just see the slower speed and your newer devices will see both and you choose the fastser

I found Netgear to be superior. You should have no issue with 2.4Ghz but may need to get a booster to carry the 5Ghz band to the far reaches of your palace

I originally bought a belkin. Returned it for Netgear. About $20 more for the Netgear model but worth it. Belkin that I bought was the $60 one....piece of junk.

i would get the net-gear AC series. the difference of the N and the AC is range and speed as well as it is the newest technology. one of the main benefits of this new tech is something called beam-forming, this is a must with today's devices. what is does it send the signal only to the devices connected to it and not send it all over the house like an umbrella which greatly improves speed and range as well as security.
