Cheaper models don't have gigabit.
OP: If gigabit is the objective, then it's great (i have it, & man does that improve transfer speeds from PC to PC).
If you're just doing web stuff, no in home networking, it's not worth it.
You could get a normal G or even the pre-N routers for less then with better results (just no gigabit of course).
Also, i don't think it's just one brand of routers that die after a year or two.
Seems pretty much all consumer level networking routers/switches/modems/hubs have the tendency to die within a few years from what i've seen...
