  i heard that linksys is stable...easy to administer (router/adapter alike)
  
  wonder how's the administration for Dlink/Netgear and stuff...any experts here to really help provide tips on securing these gadgets?

  Home user right?
  
  Why not you state how many PCs/Laptops you have at home using the wireless router.
  It'll be best to provide infos like your Flat spec (Number of rooms) or Condo, or Private Property(Number of levels).
  
  Pardon me my friend, i'll have to disagree strongly with you on this case of 'newer standards.
  The bottom line is, buy the product that serves you. Not the technology.

  Wireless-N Broadband Router

  Despite numerous announcements, actual hardware has been scarce; first to the party is Linksys's WRT300N, a Wi-Fi router based on the first official iteration of the spec. Linksys claims that the MIMO-based router is capable of up to 12 times the speed and 4 times the range of older 802.11g routers. Unfortunately, those claims didn't hold water in testing: while the device managed decent maximum throughput and mixed-mode speed, it gave a dismally poor performance at long range. In terms of the rest of the current field, the WRT300N fared pretty well, but nowhere near our expectations for Draft N networking equipment.

  With all these great features and terrific ease of use, I was extremely disappointed with the WRT300N's results on our performance tests. Over the years I have developed certain expectations for Linksys products' quality and performance, and the WRT300N did not live up to them. It was outperformed by the Buffalo WZR-G300N and the Netgear WNR854T, the two other Draft-N offerings we tested at the same time.
  
  Losing to the competition is one thing—you can't always win, after all—but what I found far more disappointing is that Linksys's own pre-N router, the SRX400 (see table for comparison) actually outperformed the WRT300N at every range increment. The WRT300N's signal did not reach our 160-foot marker. That is an indication of range problems, which can translate into coverage problems in the home.

  D-Link is also easier to configure.. I had tried configuring both linksys and Dlink, in my opinion, Dlink is easier to configure... both adapters and routers..
