My dlink wireless g router died today after 5 years of (mostly) reliable service. I need to replace it ASAP and I'm looking for some advice. I was running a wired pc on the old router, plus using the wifi for an iMac, 2 laptops, 2 TiVos, a Wii, and occasional iPhone wifi use. Should I upgrade to wireless n, or will that cause problems with one or more of my devices? Should I go with dlink again? Linksys? Belkin? Any recommendations for a specific model. I'd like to stay in the $50-75 price range. Thanks!

You can go with the N since it's backwards compatible. I personally use a Linksys WRT300N and it has been very reliable. I run one pc wired, 2 pc's wireless, a Wii wireless, and an Xbox 360 wired. I've heard really good things about Dlink, Netgear, and Belkin, but I don't have any experience with them.
