OFF-TOPIC - Wirless N Router Questions

[EQ3282]

Giving this a shot, hoping someone might have some info/knowledge about this. Here is my scenario, and a couple questions I have:

Have a Belkin G router now. Works well, but its old (4+ years) and the range does not cover the house (little or no signal at far-end bedrooms and finished basement in a 1900 sq ft ranch-style home, never an 'excellent' signal anywhere in the house aside from right next to it). Looking to upgrade to an N router for larger range. Will be connecting wireless to a Toshiba with Vista Home Premium, hard wired and wireless on occassion to a Dell running Windows XP, and then wireless to PS3 and Panny Viera. iPhone Wifi will be used once in a while as well. Here are the two I'm considering:

Questions:

- Anyone have any thoughts about the Belkin? Most reviews appear to be either great or terrible, but its a CNET Editor's Choice. I'm just concerned about the dropped signal issue that seems to be prevalent.

- I like the Apple Airport (a couple friends recommend it), but its evident the 5ghz stream means nothing to me at this point (will be more of an upgrade-ready set-up). But I've heard the AA is pointless if there's no Mac in the house as some features are basically 'Mac only' perks and others just work better with a Mac. Plus it is expensive. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
