What are some good long range wireless routers that I could pick up for under $100?

I'm mainly looking for something that has a decent range and that can also allow my wireless devices to utilize the 50MB downstream.
 
If you want outdoor ones then there are ones that have directional antenna that can go quite some distance.

If you are talking indoor then you are just going to have to blindly guess. Pretty much all routers transmit at the maximum legal power. Your house it layout and what its made of have much more impact on the distance. If you stay with any of the major names in routers you will likely similar results.

The only way you will likely get 50m downstream consistently is if you do not use more than 1 wireless device at a time. They all share the bandwidth and they don't share very well. A 802.11n router than can do 150m is usually pretty solid if you can get enough signal. When you start talking 300 and 450 these assume the ability to get multiple overlapping signals. This tends to not work real well in areas where you have lots of competition from your neighbors for the wireless frequencies.
