Question is pretty much in the title. We have an old Belkin G router that seems like it's starting to go (network tends to disappear occasionally, especially after large downloads, requiring a power cycle), and Newegg has this for sale at $69.99 ($59.99 with promo code). Our area used to be pretty clear, but these days everyone and their brother/sister seems to be running a wireless network, so I thought I might try a simultaneous dual-band (to support the older computers too) to see if it might help. Also, I'm moving into a new apartment in a few months, so I figure having the chance for a 5 GHz network would help there too.

For $60 it's quite OK. The wireless is decent, both CPU and RAM are OK- the only serious drawback is lack of a gigabit switch.
Linksys are not very good at writing firmware for Atheros-based devices but since it's supported by DD-WRT there's backup plan in place.
Quite an interesting offer if a cheap simultaneous dual-band.
How does the WRT400N stack up these days?
