I need a good wireless router

[heyyo2]

I had a DLink 624 and it was terrible. Lost connection anytime i was 2 feet away from it. I ended up getting a Linksys WR54G and there was no connection at all and i had to return it back. I live in thoswe old buildings that are like 90 years old already and that might have something to do with it. I was gonig to get a Zyxel 550 wireless router and it had great reviews. However, the lasat 10 reviews i seen for it all within this month says this router will be great for 6 months and it will just die.

Can anyone recommend me a wireless router that works and have good connection and range? I think DLink is the worst. Most ppl say Linksys is the best but unfortunately it doesnt work for me.
