I hope that this is the best thread for this, but if not please refer me.

Long story short, I had very slow but reliable DSL with a modem/wireless router combo for several years, and I recently moved. Now I have Internet that is 4 times faster for only about $8 a month more, but my cable modem is just a modem. I broke out my Linksys 160N Router, and it sort of/kind of works, but every so often it just shits the bed and I have to plug my modem straight into my main PC. This is an old router, from 2007 or thereabouts, and I'm worried that age and changing protocols are why my internet isn't reliable. I don't want to buy a new router, but if I have to I have to and I won't cheap out.

So, what wireless router would you recommend? I need something simple to set up but with good range, as it will be in the lower-level of a two-level flat and I need to be able to connect reliably from the top floor. I'm not sure if whether or not I need a new router or if I need to to do something to my current one, but this isn't a tech support thread per se.
