The only problem I have with that router is that it has a "gigabit" switch but no jumbo frame support. That is like saying your car has a 500HP engine, but the transmission can only handle 30HP before the clutch slips....
When used on a regular peer-to-peer Network Jumbo Frames add close to nothing, at times can even impede the Internet Speed..
If One need really to buy Hardware then buy it with Jumbo frame, but when having alreday a functional hardware that is lacking Jumbo Frame, it should Not be an excuse to spend money for Nothing.
Unless you have a Good reason to get Draft_N (Having a New Laptop with B/G/N card is Not a Good reason), then buy a Good 802.11G Wireless Router + Good Giga Switch and leave the Draft_N to the vendors to enjoy its "Beauty".

Both are Very Good. The Asus is less expensive and have regular performing Wireless, while the Buffalo has High Power Wireless

Entry Level Buffalo, Asus, and Linksys GL Routers can be Flashed with 3rd party free firmware.
If you need extra features (other than the Power Boost) take a look at Tomato and DD-WRT.
If the features that you need are available in Tomato Flash with Tomato.
Tomato features - [L=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_(firmware)#Features]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_(firmware)#Features[/L]
Otherwise, use DD-WRT.
[L=http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/ind..._is_DD-WRT%3F#Features]http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/What_is_DD-WRT%3F#Features[/L]
It is much easier to Flash Tomato than DD-WRT, thus to avoid frustration and Bricking risk I would recommend to casual Flashers to go with Tomato.
----------------------------
As an indirect side Note.
Routers are actually small computers with very weak CPU, small memory, and the Firmware acts as the OS.
Just like you do not expect using a NetBook for D Gaming, do not expect Entry Level Router to perform well under the load that is generated by heavy P2P downloads.
Taking into consideration the big savings done by the "Questionable Downloads", One can spend few hundred $$ on a "real" Router.
