You didn't say if you needed it with a WAN interface or a DSL interface
or if you want the ability to load DD-WRT or similar ilk onto it.

I found the WRT610N to be very good, with only one thing shortcoming to
offer.

It has dual radios (not just dual band), so that's nice.  I can load
DD-WRT-mega on it, so I have all the DD-WRT toys to play with on it.  It
has a nice slick look to it.  Price tag at either Frys or Microcenter
wasn't outrageous (cheaper models didn't have dual radios and there were
certainly more expensive models).

Only downside (to me) was that it did not have external antennas.  I
have one location where I would install several if I could connect
external high gain antennas, maybe even external as in in-door/out-door
antennas.  I haven't found a decent N with dual radio and external
antennas and DD-WRT support yet.

I haven't seen any DSL interface models I can still DD-WRT on.  :-P
