Looking for a new router, preferably something with gigabit/wireless-n. Linksys has served me well so far, but I hear that the wrt160n has some nasty heat issues.

Any suggestions?

I'm sure you can find it cheaper than Best Buy, but even there it's $129. Best router I've used in years. The firmware is solid, you can connect networked storage or a printer to the USB port and share it using a DLink utility, and the range is pretty damn good.

I don't have any wireless devices with N adapters, but friends who have the same router with N cards convinced me to purchase the router in the first place.
