I still have an old wirless b router which is giving issues. I am looking at the two following routers which do you think is better and why?
LINKSYS WRT160N ULTRA RANGEPLUS WIRELESS-N WIFI ROUTER or Netgear WNR1000 RangeMax 150 Wireless N Router 802.11n

thanks in advance

Netgear all the way I used to be a big linksys buyer but they have had alot of problems lately so I recently swicthed to netgear and I'm loving it.

The Newegg reviews are pretty disturbing for that Linksys. The Netgear's reviews are pretty solid, so I'd go that way if it's between these two routers. You could probably get a solid router for less, but at that point it's personal preference and whether or not you need 802.11n.

Yes I actually use 2 routers WGR 614 v10 and WNR1000 RangeMax 150 love them both.
