pick a wireless router for me
I have had it with the one year old Netgear WNR3500l constantly crashing. Using my 7 year old DLink DI 524 right now but it has poor range. At least it never drops connection though.

Nope -- you can disable the wireless on that combo or just use the new router on a different channel (1,6, or 11 is recommended)

Oh, it needs to be gigabit wireless N and preferably have a USB port for external HDD sharing.

Where are you reading that? It has SharePort technology -- plug in a USB external drive or printer and you're now sharing it across the network.

From CNET reviews.... The good: The D-Link DIR-655 offers decent throughput performance and stable wireless signal. The router has an intuitive and responsive Web interface, support for Gigabit Ethernet and guest networking, and an extensive set of networking features. The bad: The DIR-655 doesn't have dual-band support. Its SharePort USB port can work with only one computer at a time. The bottom line: With the latest firmware update, the D-Link DIR-655 is arguably one of the best among single-band Wireless-N routers on the market. Last edited by 007; 06-13-2012 at 04:25 PM.. |

I've grown quite fond of Buffalo routers.
This is a really good router: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833162031

What kind of range are you guys getting out of these? I've got my desktop and router in my office and my service in the living room ****ing sucks.

With a quality router, you should have full bars at your mailbox. Unless you have 10" thick brick walls lined with lead or something. Or a 1/4 mile driveway.
