Router suggestions for Garnett?
Cisco Linksys E4200 or Apple Airport Extreme, both very easy to manage (UI-wise) and have excellent throughput. Excellent throughput for both local network and toward Internet.
I currently have an Cisco Linksys E4200 with a Netgear WN2000RPT wireless--to-wired bridge for some non-wireless stuff. Stable and smooth. I get 50-60 Mbps on my MacBook from downstairs, even though it's behind reinforced concrete walls and floors. Highly recommended.
But that's just my experience.

Like anything important and somewhat complex, you really have to read up on it and pick the right one for your environment.
