Time for a new wireless router

The time has come to retire the old D-Link 802.11g router. I want to upgrade to a 802.11n router and would like your opinions on which routers to consider. There will be 2 computers on the network, neither of which are used for heavy duty downloading/streaming.

A speedtest on the current router gives me about 2Mbps download on the wireless and 92Mbps when plugged in to one of the LAN ports, hence the desire to upgrade.

Any advice on which manufacturers to consider or avoid? My budget is not unlimited but neither do I want to buy cheap and then regret it...

At the moment I am swaying towards the D-Link DIR-652 or perhaps the Belkin Surf+ if the girlfriend has her say on the budget.

Does anyone currently use either of these routers, and if so what are your impressions of them? Any other routers you would personally recommend?
