On the low end Netgear for sure on all router products. Even though Linksys was bought by Cisco, I've had problems with 'em. Yes, your's may work. Still being a Network Consultant, I continue to bring a number of cable, dsl and T1 networks on line.
Linksys still causes me problems as late as last week. Had to replace one right out of the box. Thought the Cisco buy made them a good choice. I like the programming of the Netgear router boxes better too. Simple enough for most anyone to install, but gives you needed options.
For wireless, I suggest the higher frequency 5GHz models. Wireless phones at 2.4 GHz interfer sometimes. Some will say, they have it and it works. That's great, but I can point to some clients that had problems and I know of companies with 50+ users that had to swap out the 2 GHz wireless for the 5.
If you have more than a handfull of users, I'd rethink the wireless. Remember that ya can go up to 1Gbps on wire now. Your DSL delivers at 1.5 Mbps and cable at 2 Mbps. Those are download speeds and that does not mean that cable is faster, you have to share that bandwidth with your neighbors. The point is, it only counts if you have a number of users on your network.
OK, more than you wanted to know, I'll stop.
