SPAM: Need Router Recommendation

I've just lost my router. There was a power outage here and the power went on and off 2 or three times. Apparently, that did in my router, even though it was behind a surge protector. It is/was a Linksys RV042. That's the second Linksys router I've lost in the past 5 years. Maybe 2 1/2 years is about average for a router, I have no idea. Anyway, I see a log of negative press on this site regarding Linksys products and I think I'd like to try switching brands. I know there is some other brand that has been highly recommended, but I just can't remember what that brand was. Anyway, could someone give me a router recommendation (along with a good place to make an online purchase, if possible)? Thanks, Greg Wallace
