Suggested Router

[drozz]

Hiya;

I'm looking for some advice on what the best possible router I can get, as of January 2012, according to what I will be using it for:


SPECS

22Mbps Download
1.7Mbps Upload

3 people in the house.
3 desktops (2 Wired, 1 WiFi), 1 laptop (WiFi), 2 cell phones (WiFi)
PlayStation 3 (Wired)

Average GB downloaded per month = 200GB

====================================

MAIN USAGES

Heavy Torrenting
Heavy MMO/Multiplayer Gaming
Heavy Art browsing
Heavy YouTube and Facebook usage

====================================

CURRENT ROUTER & PROBLEMS

WRT54G2 v1.0
WRT54G v8.0

Problems: Torrents and downloads that take longer than a few minutes to download, or require users in the house to connect to many people (torrenting), crash the internet often, which is the router crashing and rebooting.

This is obviously a major nuisance for anyone who does major downloading or multiplayer gaming.

====================================

I'm looking for a router than can obviously sustain 3 desktops + numerous misc. devices while being able to torrent or play multiplayer, without crashing or rebooting the router.

My real question is, I guess, is there a router out there than can provide sufficient wireless strength, and NOT crash/restart?

If all else fails, I was looking into just wiring another router, but prefer not to.

Thanks!

P.S. I've been looking at either one of these, and wondering of some input whether these would be bad, good, or the same as before:

ASUS RT-N16

or
ASUS RT-N56U

Looking into this, it seems pretty worthwhile.

How is it with handling upwards of 10 things using the internet at once? (which could include torrents on multiple computers)
