Over the years I have owned routers from Netgear, Linksys, Bilken, 
Dlink, and I am currently using Trendnet. I have a three router setup 
to isolate my WAP from my LAN  and I recently upgraded my routers to 
Trendnet which I am happy with. Trendnet is a value product, and I 
think the deliver a lot for the price, especially when they come up 
on sales / rebates. If you want to go more at the top range I would 
get one that could also act as a print server and / or a network USB2 
or 3 drive interface ( if 3 exists yet). I think Netgear and DLINK 
have something like this, but expect to pay close to 200.

  Every manufacture has it's day in the sun product, but consumer 
routers have been around a long time now, and I don't think there is 
all that much difference between them out side of Gb switches, N band 
and firmware features inside product lines.  However, if you are that 
familiar with Cisco / Linksys maybe you should stay with them.
