I have always used a Linksys but I have heard that Belkin is good as well. The most important thing I have found is placing the right router for the right situation.

We live in a walk out two story, so my wifes studio/loft is about 60' from the router. So we had some problems when we had a wireless "b" router, once we upgraged to w wireless "n" here recently we have had no problems.

Point being, if you have about 20-30' to go to your computer or anyplace in your home for that matter, any router would be fine. If you have to "reach" some distance, then you might want to go with a better brand and make sure you get the latest technology for security.
