Consider this Netgear router wndr3700. It has very good reviews and excellent throughput. It's on sale on pixmania -- out of stock every where else (amazon market place has it but it's expensive). It operates in 2.4 and 5Ghz (dual band)

The D-link 655 is as good but it gets very hot.

Both are draft 2 802.11N, which is different from final 802.11N. The WiFi alliance will ratify them as "N" but the Alliance have moved the goalposts: They introduced two new categories

dual stream N
multi stream N

which is essentially the real final N.

See here

The WNDR3700 is a "dual stream N", it has 8 aerials, 4 for each band, 2 incoming, two outgoing.
