One more question... Even though the Roku doesn't support 5ghz WiFi, can it still connect to that network, just not take full advantage of 5ghz wireless n?
Yes, because essentially you will be running two networks, a 2.4ghz, and a 5ghz network. Some router se-ups will by default combine them with one SSID, but they are still in effect separate connections.
The Roku XD really does not require a very fast connection at all to stream HD content. I used to do just fine with my 6Mbps down dsl connection which at one time ran through an 11g router. Netflix does not demand all that robust a connection to stream well.
However, folks really are running more and more stuff on their home networks, phones, media, networked storage, and so on. If one is in the market for a new router, I always recommend a dual band model, that is at least "middle of the pack" or better of a given manufacturer's offerings.
Cheapie routers are generally cheap for a reason...
