FWIW, I've used Netgear routers and wifi routers for years and they've been very solid. I've recently bought a Netgear DOCSIS + wifi router (the Netgear N600 <http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IF0JAYE?tag=price222-20&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER>) which has great wifi range and performance, and the internet side of things is extremely good too (no dropouts or slow speeds since getting it two months ago), and I think the ~ $100 price tag is great value.
I've not had any experience with Asus, but I've had really sketchy wifi experiences with Linksys, D-Link & Belkin.
