New router recommendations

I currently have a DLink DI-604 router. I find it to be slow when i have multiple connections (torrents) running even though the upload is capped to 50% of my upstream. From reading, it seems this is due to a small NAT table and small amount physical memory within the router. I am currently looking for a new router\switch that overcomes these issues and that is stable. Ideally i would like to have 100s of connections to it without any performance issues or slowdowns. All my equipment is currently wired but I will eventually be using a mix of wired and wireless connections for my PCs, printer, laptop, xbox and PS3. I would like the fastest link speed possible, Gigabit ports and the fastest wireless technology ("n" ?). I remember reading a while back that the "n" standard wasn't finalized. Not sure if that changed. I will settle for 100mbit if needed. I haven't kept up to date on home networking technology so your help is appreciated.


Any suggestions ?
 
For gigabit ports and wireless-N i would look at either the DIR-655(I think thats it) and the DGL-4500
I have had problems with the wireless N versions of the linksys routers. But the WRT's have always done the job
 
never used it, but don't buy it just because it says bit torrent on it. its just has a bit torrent client built in, insted of running them on your computer.
 
I just bought this one, what do any of you all think?
