Absolutely your suggestions are welcome. I've been pounding the reviews in pc mag and the like but I don't know what the heck I'm reading so thanks. What I came up with is,
Linksys 4200 or
Netgear n600

if you had to choose between the 2, netgear that linksys router is still on the old platform, however the netgear can get smashed on rt 95 for all i care. but that is my opinion, ford - chevy- dodge, if you get my drift.

Check the date of the reviews, alot of them are 6mo or better in most times. You couldnt give me a linksys right now, i will take dlink or belkin, however netgear has made some leaps and bounds when theu upgraded to the new platform.

Here is what to look for when purchasing a router.
Brand name
multiple antenna's
IP V6 compatable

If you are gaming or have heavy traffic make sure its duel band.
