You probably don't need as much as I did for a $300 router, but Asus makes some much better stuff than Netgear at this point in the game.

Since going to Asus back in Dec. I have NOT rebooted my router or cable modem once. No issues with connectivity, stability or speed. I am a happy camper. With computers, TV's, cellphones, NAS, laptops, game stations, A/V equipment, wifi cameras, etc, I have about 30 devices connected via Wifi, none have had an issue.

Both me an the wife do IT work for a very large hospital organization, working from home and needing that reliability and speed is critical for our work. Asus was the answer for me, after lots of research.
