I'm going to drag this thread kicking and screaming back to the present day!
I'm in the market for a wireless access point, and I understand that I can just add a wireless router to my existing wired network. What are you guys using? My linksys stuff has been perfect, but I see a lot of people are not enjoying their latest wireless stuff.
My wife has an ipad and whatever I get will need to work with it.
Will 802.11n stuff work with older 802.11g stuff?
Share your knowledge on this subject, please!

whatever is on sale at the time of purchase- that is how I would go.
Once set up routers never need to be touched- at least mine have never needed to be touched.
Phins installed one at my house and it sat until I changed it out this summer- and again I have not touched it since.
People saying one router sucks compared to another can probably be traced back to the person making set up mistakes with new equipment.
New **** is even easier- press that button the router and press the button on your wireless device and bingo you are up and running

My brother does a lot of IT stuff including setting up wireless networks. He recommended Engenius brand routers to me. They are flawlessly stable, can be flashed with other firewall/router firmware, and the spec list is usually far above anything else in its price range. Heres mine.
