If anyone has any recommendations, feel free to let me know. I'm fed up with this fucking Cisco/Linksys piece of shit. Sorry about tonight's outage; the thing went down and I couldn't get back to it for several hours.

Asus RT-N56U is a well-regarded consumer router. Some of Netgear's higher-end ones are pretty decent, too.

A next-step up might be a Cisco ASA 5505. Yes, it's Cisco, but it's in a totally different class of device and much, much nicer.

So a router for the site? What router are you currently using? I would think that a commercial grade router would be your best bet, though putting custom firmware on routers like openwrt or ddwrt seems to make consumer ones work better for me.

A pfSense-based router might also be nice (it's somewhat more full-featured than OpenWRT or DD-WRT). They run nicely on an old computer or something like an ALIX or Soekris single-board computer.
