Anyone recommend any 802.11n routers?

I only owned two so far, two Linksys 300N 1.0 routers and Belkin N1 Wireless Router. They both stink, literally... The Linksys one worked excellent while it lasted about for a month or two. The Belkin N1 Wireless Router is just plain cr*p, the service would drop VERY frequently BOTH on wireless and wired connection on the first day of use. Why should these two products even exist in the market?!

OR should I just buy a 802.11g router? Maybe the business 802.11n routers?

PERSONAL REMARKS:
I bought the Belkin N1 Wireless Router today, and returning it the next day...
I a lot of time buying installing and returning.
I lost >$40 on two 1-year replacement plans.
DON'T listen to advices from employees at CompUSA especially if they are friendly, he's not your friend. He is a salesperson doing his job so therefore he might be an *ssh*le. Kind of vague but true, that is one of the trait of 'business'.

Is there anything wrong with wirless-N routers in GENERAL, as wirless-G does not.


Any helpful suggestions and comments are appreciated.


EDIT: Forgot to mention, I don't recommend Belkin, a few years ago my dads Belkin Pre-N router broke and as of N1 Wireless Router as mentioned, and also the Belkin IDE cable.(the pin broke off the tape when you pull it out of the 40pin socket.) So I am guessing Netgear and Linksys, best? Not sure with D-Link, my dads D link also broke, and its not that popular so I guess, no.

well, the main problem with wireless-n is that its not standardized yet, which means that you have to buy routers and recievers of the same brand if you want them to be guaranteed to work together. if i were you, i see if dell makes one, because until 2009 when the technology gets standardized, there is no guarantee any other brand of wireless-n will work with your dell draft n wireless.

however, it is worth sticking with wireless-n if you have a really good internet connection or if you transfer a lot of files on your subnet, becuase the throughput is amazingly higher than wireless-g. however if you mostly just surf the net, and only have a DSL or a cable modem, then for now you are probably better off sticking with a good wireless-g. the linksys is a very good wireless-g router
 
I've had the Belkin N1 router for about 12 months now and it's brilliant. I've NEVER had a problem with it, my room is about 50 feet diagonally from the router and i still get excellent signal strength and the same speed i would if it was connected via an Ethernet cable.

if you are a college student you may want to consider taking some english grammar and punctuation classes. there isnt a single comma or period in that entire post.
 
two words SCREW YOU not everyone here has grammer or punctuation stuck up there @#$ so take your grammer and syick it yup yuz #$% your not my mom, if you dont have anything to post about the subject of networking go to the off topic and spread your knowledge, taynk youz 4 day heylp homz
 
802.11n(270mbps) vs 802.11g(54 or 108 mbps)

Is there connection speed difference from connecting with wireless adapters or is it just streaming and transferring?(referring above)

Also with some research, 802.11n aren't really standardized till around 2008, correct? I would wait till time comes if true.
 
As others have said, the problem with Draft-N devices is that once 802.11n becomes standard, they may not be compatible with other companies 802.11n products.
