I haven't looked at consumer wireless routers in a while, but as a general
rule, make sure you get dual band (802.11a/bg/n) or if you get single band
make sure you go with 802.11a/n.  Running 802.11bg/n is a bit of a waste as
you saturate your channels very quickly and it is difficult to avoid
interference.  You will pay a bit more for the dual-band but the signal will
be able to get higher speed for your high-end clients, but also be able to
support 802.11bg clients only (smart phones, gaming adapters, etc.)

Personally I have a Cisco 1252 sitting in my living room and it's pretty
bulletproof.
