New Wireless Router

Well my wireless router recently decided to give up. It drops connection frequently and all of my devices have a hard time finding the IP through it to connect in the first place. It's the Linksys WRT54G2 router that I've had for about 4 years. I also own a Linksys E3200 router, but I've never been able to get it to operate correctly. I still need to check to see if it's firmwares up to date, but I think there's just a faulty part in it. Regardless, I'll probably end up buying a new router here soon and I need some help on which would be the best cost-performance-reliability choice. Here are the ones I've been eyeballing lately:

Netgear N600 WNDR3400

Actiontec GT784WN

Linksys E1500


So those are the one's I've looked at. I've liked Linksys, besides the E3200 I own. Netgear seems highly reputable, and the actiontec was one that TDS Telecom had us use as a modem/router combo when we had their service and it worked like a charm. I left Belkin out, because I've heard nothing but bad news from all of their routers in the past few years, but I have an open ,mind to them if they are suggested, as long as there's reputable evidence to support that it doesn't suck. Now I would personally rather fix the E3200 than buy a new one, so any help with how I could fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help and advice.
 
What issues are you having with the E3200? There really is no way to fix it unless a firmware update solves the issue you are having.
 
I got it working just hours after I posted this thread, but I still want to know what I should get because I'm moving out soon and need my own router.
