When it comes to routers its difficult to make a bad pick now with so many competing in that space and new vendors competing as well like Western Digital. You are going to get a mixed bag regardless of the vendor you choose to go with. The only exception is Belkin. Don't get a Belkin, and by default don't get a Linksys since they are now Belkins. Netgear is so so. So I would seriously look at the top end ASUS router. The reason being the only three top end routers are a Linksys, Netgear, and ASUS. ASUS tends to do a good job with their top end gear.
The reason I suggest looking at the top end router is because they have N600. The Wireless-AC is offered by most routers, but not most devices. This means that nearly all the communication you will be doing on wireless is going to be across Wireless N for the next 4 years which is the typical life span of any electronic component/device. N600 offers 600 MB/s on one channel of wireless N and is backwards compatible with the other Wireless N rates. So that means you can take full advantage of any device using Wireless N. Like I said, only those three routers have N600 on them.
