Honestly, anything but Linksys. Everyone I've known so far who's owned one was never too happy with it.
Asus is a pretty good brand for wireless routers as well.
I personally use the D-Link N-300 as I've had no complaints about it so far with surfing, downloading, and online gaming.

For a wireless G router, I highly recommend the Linksys WRT54GL (flashed with DD-WRT/Tomato). It's very reliable, and delivers a strong signal. I've owned it for 2 years and I've only reset it 2-3 times, only because my Shaw modem had problems.

Just got a DIR 618 last week. I don't think it's out yet in Canada, but it has been excellent so far. The range is quite amazing Posted via RS Mobile | |

My 610N has been rock solid since I bought it. I haven't had to power cycle it once.

If you are using the WPA (or WPA2) security protocol, the level of security is the same across any router.

I have always hated Linksys.. Had way too many problems with them in the past.. But with DD-WRT or Tomato I'm sure it's better.

So I'm not sure, but I see unstable linksys connections that I could connect to on and off in my area, so I'm not sure what's happening with that.

Haven't had any experience with N-routers.
I have 3 Linsys WRT54GL's with DD-WRT and they are rock solid.
Never been a fan of Netgear nor D-Link.
I think my next N-router will be either Asus, Buffalo or a Linksys.
The on criteria I have for routers is that it has to run DD-WRT. This way the router will always have some sort of 3rd party firmware support, if there are issues.

I asked a similar quesiton also on RS like 1-2 years ago.
I had a Linksys WRT54G originally, then got the newer version thinking it would be better and it sucked.
Everyone on RS recommended the D-Link DIR655. It's been rock solid, no connection drops, range is decent too.
