So my G+ wireless router died & all the other I have suck pretty bad.
I'm going to try my hand with N again, which of these do you think would be the better choice? Thanks guys.

Wow 21 views & no replies. :(
O well I'm going to order one of them to night so it should leave first thing in the morning. I'm leaning towards the TRENDnet I think.

I probably wouldn't go with N until it's a little more developed but if you have to buy one now I guess it's a good choice. I'm not crazy about either one of those brands, however I can't say either one is any better than the other.

No worrys Ivy, its all good.
Yeah funk Im not crazy about either brand. I bought a linksys N awile back but it was crappier than a old B I had. I going to go with the TRENDnet, it has more features & I like the lay out a bit better & its black. What can I say its a selling point. Dont know if the brand will mess with anything but it shouldn't since every wireless thing I have is a different brand. Im looking forward to seeing if the N really will make a difference in range & speed. Im also anxious to see if the wan/lan of 1000mb will make a difference at all.
I don't know a lot about wireless routers, but if I was to get one I would get this:

It's inexpensive and there are TONS of custom firmware updates that make this router wonderful. A few examples are DD-WRT and Tomato. They pretty much let you do anything you want with the router. Google either of those firmwares for more information.
