OT: router recommendation

[Michael Butash]

I don't know if they've gotten better, but powerline ethernet adapters I 
have/had, netgear units were terrible between rooms.  Almost constant 
packetloss after a while, which made video streaming off my nas terrible.

Do you monitor yours at all?  I didn't notice with lower bitrate divx, 
but with hd materials it got noticed fast.  I'd thought it was the 
system for a while until i realized the connection sucked.  I had to 
toss a cable down the hall, but streams 1080p just dandy now.
