Good Brand For Wireless N Router

What's a good brand for a wireless N router in terms of range, performance and reliability? 

I've heard Linksys and Netgear are pretty good but is that true?

I have Net gear NB6W, omg how did I memorise that =S

They had a great deal for mine, i register online, and get an extra 1 year warranty :D

Um, I had HEAPS of trouble with it for the first few weeks, like it wouldnt connect to the net, etc. HOWEVER, I think that was my lack of skill in using a router for the first time...I have had it for a year and a bit now I think, works fine :D

Looks okay too.

I've got a billion 7800N ( modem router though) and it's pretty good. Originally had some net gear ( not n) and I couldn't reach the upstairs room ( my room) but with the billion I can get into my room (even with the door closed) with good-high signal strength. Pretty good IMO, it's about 200-215 if you get it from a computer place. (PC case gear - http://www.pccasegear.com/ ) ( router alone is cheaper though)

Yeah, it's much more cost effective to buy a router PLUS modem,

my billion keeps crashing. 7401vgp. if you use wireless i'd stay away from this router. alot of people have the same problem as me and apparently its due to wireless overload.

Really?  I've heard some good opinions of Billion based on its range but for performance, I haven't heard much except for the two people who posted above you.
