cant go wrong with Linksys, they are a Cisco product and depending on the level of control you want, they pretty much have all the same features of the Cisco at a fraction of the price.

I have had my Linksys Wireless router for 5 or 6 years now and have not had a problem.

On my second linksys wireless router...

The first one is still running, I gave it to a buddy that is stuck with DSL... I just wanted more speed, IPV6 compliance and more signal strength... Counting the printer which I have direct connected to the router, I have over 20 devices in the house set to the wifi...

No problems with a $40 Netgear from Walmart, it even has a wifi on/off button that still allows it to work as a regular (non wireless) router.

I just installed a Netgear Wireless AC Gigabit Router after having range issues. It was costly but it has solved our streaming and range problems. Too bad the wireless technology connecting to it isn't able to take total advantage of the gigabit speeds just yet but it will come in time.

Wirelessly posted (Samsung Galaxy S III )

Gigabit connection does nothing for most home users since your internet speed is only 10-20 mb.
