buffalo makes good routers. Buffalo WHR-G300N is what I have. They all ship with DD-wrt firmware. Good stuff. Ant runs the NETGEAR WNDR37AV. GiSam... don't know what he ended up with. D-Link DIR-655 802.11b/g/n Xtreme N Gigabit Wireless has a lot of good reviews. On all routers, the usb option is poorly implemented. Probably not a big concern for you.

Nuthing after sending the Netgear back! Still running the old Trendnet till a deal comes along on a gamming router or my daughter comes back...LOL
I sent the Netgear back because "MY" performace with it was less than my Trendnet. I tested it by switching routers and doing ping tests. I switched them out over 8 times and the Netgear was consistantly 10-20ms higher on pings. The USB port SUCKED (another reason for getting it)! On average I would get 1.5MBs transfer rate and USB to PC is 20MBs...but...in Netgears defense others have the same problem. $150 is way too much for the Netgear untill they figure the USB transfer rate out. I would go with the Buffalo and at $40 w/free shipping @ Newegg it seems like a great deal.

 You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... Victory. Posts: 648 Joined: 07-18-08

The price is $70 when you add it to your cart, not a bad deal at all.

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/router_roundup_we_review_7_top-tier_routers I'm waiting for the Trendnet V2 to decide.
