What router should I buy?

[niffcreature]

My printer is NOT wireless. It happens on about 8 different laptops.

Its the pitney bowes shipping service used on all websites that can print USPS labels that times out every time.

I have a linksys wrt54gx, the printer shouldn't matter.

Our Netgear N is not cutting it. Looking for something to make better use of my Bigfoot Networks Killer™ Wireless-N 1103 (3x3) which is on order. Ideas? Thanks in advance.

Linksys E4200 v1

This is a goody one from my experience:

Amazon.com: Medialink - Wireless N Router - 802.11n - 150 Mbps - 2.4 Ghz - NEW Design w/ Internal Antenna: Electronics

Considering that this router only does 150mbps, i wouldn't consider it a bargain anymore regardless of how well it handles connections, might as well spend $10 more for a router that supports 300mbps.

For additional $4 over Medialink you can get a TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND which has Gigabit Ethernet, USB port, 300mbps Wi-Fi and 3rd party firmware support.

Does anyone have any feedback on the Asus router? I've tried the Netgear 3800 but I ran into issues when using 2.4ghz where max transfer speed had to be set at 54mbs for it to work. Then I went to Linksys e4200v2, but now it won't broadcast 5ghz...they are sending me a refurb replacement...but I'm thinking of checking the ASUS router out.

Are you not happy with Netgear or just need a router that supports 3x3? The new Netgear WNDR4500 supports 3x3 MIMO and is quite a bit faster than the WNDR3700. I currently use a WNDR3700 which I bought shortly after it was released. The stability, speed and range have been absolutely superb. Only problem is that the network card in my LG P330, an Asus G73JH and yet another Asus laptop that I can't remember the name of haven't been playing along nicely with it. I'll most likely buy the WNDR4700 (WNDR4500/N900 with an internal HDD slot) when it comes out.

Does the 4500 work well in crowded 2.4ghz wireless environments?
