Best Dual Band N Router?

[nothon]

I am currently in the market for one and was wondering which is the best? I'm looking at the Apple Airport Extreme, but don't really know what else there is out there. Maybe the D-Link DIR 825?

I'm basically in the same boat here, DIR-825 looks tempting, along with the WRT610N.. I've always been a fan of Cisco/Linksys but the D-Link is looking good.

I ordered a Linksys WRT400N and WET610N and they get here Wednesday. I've heard good things about the Apple Airport from friends that own one.

The DIR-825 seems to be popular on engadget.

I was thinking about getting an airport or time capsule or whatever. Need a new Mac first though...

I just replaced my dir-655 with the airport extreme, 1st Apple product since my Mac+ from 1984, I like everything about this router except that you have to use their software to configure it, no going to 192.168.1.x and logging into it. Other than that it's great.

i decided to wait for N to be final instead of investing in the drafts. i got the most solid battle tested G router i could find (buffalo hp 54g). i'll hand it down once N is finalized but might wait a bit longer than when the first set of N routers get here... i'm very happy with its strong wired and wireless speeds.

The biggest reason to get one is the "cheap" 5ghz wireless. 2.4ghz is a hole.

Bad firmware (corrupted) after hours of trying to get the WRT400N to work. I returned it and the bridge (since it was useless to me). Definitely looking for something else, but will do more research in the mean time. Just need something stable from home network to TV for streaming video from WHS box to TV.
