OP, what do you mean by "good?" What're you looking for in a router? That is, features...

I didn't look if it had a USB port, but I'm assuming you've confirmed that. Like someone said above, they use that router with many devices. From what you've described, I see no reason why not.

You could flash it and put those custom firmwares on there, but you don't need all those features.

As for streaming tho, rem that all your devices need to be N compatible and using N, to get the N speed. If you have B/G devices on your network, you won't see as good a performance.

PS: I think that model is susceptible to the recent reaper attacks under wifi protected setup mode. You might wanna keep that in mind.
