Everything else is someone's personal opinion, which will always be biased. I personally like the Cisco gear (expensive), Apple's AirPort base station (good admin tools if you use Mac OS X, Windows something or other, and there is a Java program that will let other OSes config the base station). Linksys and Netgear seem to of made some decent stuff as well. Buy it, and if you don't like it, return it. cheers!
