School me on routers

Have you considered putting DD-WRT firmware on your current router? It gives you a lot more options including the ability to boost the power of the signal. I put DD-WRT on my 3-year-old Linksys E1200 and cranked up the signal power. I went from a range of about 40 feet to almost 100, and I can still crank it up even more.

If you buy a router, buy the router that you really wanted with extended 3 year warranty. Why, because it going to be on 24hr/7day and at about 2.5 years technology has changed enough to get a free upgrade

This.

Also, I've had great luck with Tomato.

And gigabit ethernet isn't important for internet connectivity (unless you have fiber), it's important for data speeds on your LAN. Try moving a large file from one machine to another and you'll see a huge advantage to gigabit as opposed to 100 megabit.
