New Wireless Router Better Speed

Dumped my WNR834b Netgear wireless router because of lost connections, and purchased the Linksys WRT300N Wireless-N Broadband Router. No dropped connections. My Internet speed is consistently faster and have confirmed it with a speed test. Also purchased WUSB300n wireless network adapter for my computer in the basement. Cnet rates the netgear router as a better buy, but I disagree! My Linksys router is connected to fios dsl and couldn't be happier. Test your Internet connection speed and see for your self.
