Looking for a Great Stable wireless router, I`m tired of having crap and having bad luck.

I have about a total of 15 devices, 4 are mobile phones and 1 tablet (nothing big) and 4 PC`s , local storage server, and a Streaming Linux PC for my TV.

Out of everything only 2 of the pc`s and my local storage server will be the only thing generating huge traffic so its not like all 15 devices are going to be using the internet or doing something all at the same time.

Wireless is NOT a big deal for me. Only 2 maybe 3 devices in the same room will be connected, and that will be 2 mobile phones and tablet, the other wireless devices are connected via an Access Point for Downstairs.

So what would you recommend? I was maybe looking to hope going basic might help me instead of having or using DD-WRT and just doing stock. But not sure how well these routers below hold up

E1200

ASUS N-12 Rev D

I know the above are cheaper :p But I`m looking to spend no more than $115 to $120.

The 2 brands I want to avoid are NETGEAR and D-Link. The only reason the cheapo E1200 is there is cause ive always had good luck in the past with linksys devices, Except the EA2700 which introduced High Local ping in the network.

Hopeing to know by 12PM EST as I can order from NewEgg and have it Monday:D
 
So I've been using an Asus RT-N16

for the past year with the Merlin rebuild of the stock Asus-wrt firmware installed. We are in a 3 level home (approx. 1800 sq. ft) with 1 Desktop PC on ethernet, 1 Magic Jack Plus VOIP on ethernet, also 12 wireless devices including android phones and tablets, 3 laptops, Sony PS3, Wii console, a Samsung Wifi Bluray player, and a 700 Gb USB Drive plugged into the router and used as a media server. It has all been very stable and I have very few complaints.
