I personally use an http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124388 as my current router/WAP. Its fast and never needs to be rebooted. I also use a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124386(which I had many problems with its default firmware, but flashing DDWRT on it made it a very nice bridge)
Also you may have older firmware on your current router, have you checked to see if there is an update?
