    I got that one, after my old one broke I read actual user reviews and found this one was well received. This is what is hook up to it,

    1 PC with magicjack phone on 24-7 (wired)
    1 Blackberry hook via wifi
    2 PSP's (wireless B)
    2 DS's (wireless G)
    1 PS3 (wired)
    2 Xbox (1 wired, 1 wireless bridge G)
    2 Laptops (wireless N)

    Just now i was on Xbox live and DLing a torrent and I got a call threw magicjack and it was clear. Of course it also matters what Internet you have.
    I have Time Warner's fastest package.

    I have an old D-link wireless that I have had about four years and never had a problem with. I run my computer, laptop, wii, xbox and my android phone on it. So i recommend d-link

    That's the problem I am having and it pisses me off. That's the reason for the upgrade.

    Will I see a big speed jump going from a G to an N?

    If you like using third-party firmware (for example, Tomato), I would recommend the ASUS WL-520gU (802.11g) and the ASUS RT-N16 (802.11n).

    I will have to say a big ol' fat YES. I was taken by surprise at the speed that N has over G.

    I just bought a D-Link DIR-601 for $40+tax at Office Depot. It was a little screwy setting it up, but works like a dream compared to my old one.

    I just bought a Belkin N+ Wireless Router yesterday to replace my old DLink...

    It has 4 gigabit ports for the wired net and does 802.11n/b/g... It's not dual band though. It does have a USB plug to share a network drive or a USB printer.

    I have Wired (I have one 4 port switch in one of the inputs):
    - Mac
    - PC
    - Slingplayer
    - Vip 622
    - Laser Printer
    - Popcorn Hour
    - Xbox 360

    Wireless:
    - 2 iPhones
    - 3G + Wifi iPad
    - iPod Touch
    - Wii

    It was $80 at OfficeMax, and super easy to configure and secure.
