[olug] seeking wireless LAN recommendations

I have been using Linksys wireless routers for over 3 years.
They work great.

At one location I am using Belkin because they claim to and appear to offer
better range.
With Linksys I used a booster for one area and Belkin has them built-in.

Why do they suck?  I think linksys rocks.  Just lock it down.

by replacing my Linksys router.  Anybody have any info whether one
brand/model is better/worse than others?  I've tried searching for reviews
and comparisons online, but it's hard to find ones that look at all the
current models since it changes so fast.  If they're all about the same,
that makes it easier - I'll just look for one with the best price after
rebate.
