If it had a 5GHz wireless-N chip/radio, I would definitely buy it.
shame no 5GHz.

Well there is the Netgear Rangemax WNDR3700 if you want that, but I do not know what what the third party firmware situation is with that one.

I haven't been running this long, so the reliability score I gave is somewhat unfounded.
In my opinion the only major limitation this router has is the lack of dual-band radio. I wonder why Netgear did this....why use a chip that supports dual band and not take the time to utilize the capability? This didn't bother me too much though, I just wire-bridged my old WRT54GL, made that the B/G access point, and made the Netgear solely wireless N. Separate the channels as much as possible and you're good.
The NAT'd throughput is fairly future proof unless you're getting Google's new gigabit service (fat chance). I wonder what SOHO routers (if any) are going to be able to support that? Those customers may have to go professional grade to support those speeds.
