Looking For A Better Router

[Hondamaker]

My Belkin is acting up, so I was wondering if the Apple Airport is good, or maybe there's another wireless router that's reliable and fast. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

I've always recommended LinkSys (http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT54G-Wireless-G-Router/dp/B00007KDVI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1212607711&sr=1-1). Airport is great, but at a price. I have Verizon, so I'm stuck using their ActionTec router. If I had to buy a router, I'd probably go with Airport (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-AirPort-Extreme-Station-MB053LL/dp/B000UZCR56/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1212607743&sr=1-2) -- for the sake of complete compatibility even it's not necessarily true (since LinkSys is very compatible).

Arstechnica has a router roundup (http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/802-11n-router-roundup.ars) that might be helpful.

Two very solid and ell-priced brands that have always done me (and a number of small biz IT customers I've supported) right over the years are: Linksys (as mentioned above by some guy :) and Netgear ....

When I bought my MBP, I also got the Airport. Yes it is a bit pricy but it integrates so well with the computer and iphone. When I plugged it in the phone had wifi instantly. No configuration at all. For awhile I had a PC upstairs and it also recognized it with no problem and we all know how they can be a pain sometimes to pair with a router.

Thanks everyone. I'll research them all and see what happens.
