Best Decent Priced Router for my Bigfoot 1103?

So I'm getting a laptop rather soon that will have the 1103 adapter in it, and I definitely need to upgrade my terribly antique(not even N) router I have now.

I don't think I want to look at top of the line, simply because the prices are too high after just buying a 'spensive laptop.

But I do want to adequately utilize the strengths of this new adapter, so what will get me the most bang for my buck?

 

here's a list of routers based on their performance

Router Charts - WAN to LAN Throughput - SmallNetBuilder

Most routers would be compatible to the 1103, but generally if you can use the router with the best cpu/firmware then it'll reflect back on whatever wireless adapter you have

based on the link above the asus router has always been a contender the past few years in terms of router performance.

 

LAN-WAN throughput is not a reflection of actual performance.
It's the maximum routing speed between a LAN port an Internet which means that it's completely irrelevant unless your actual Internet connection is faster than 300mbps.

If I had 1103 I'd go for a three stream router and a simultaneous dual band at that. Top contenders are Linksys E4200 (2.4GHz band offers no 450mbps but you wouldn't be able to use it anyway, to balance that 2.4GHz offers great range), Netgear WNDR4000 & WNDR4500 (the former being better in my opinion)

 

Those will be expensive, but you won't regret it. They cost a lot for good reasons . If you find the price too high, you could always get a 300mbps router like the Netgear WNDR3700, you won't be able to take advantage of the full potential of your adapter though.
