Wireless Routers/Modems

So The internet connection is all jacked up (I am plugged directly into the modem right now) and I am going to make a trip to Circuit City Tomorrow to get a new Router/Modem.

Any Suggestions of what I should look for?

With DD-WRT Firmware. Supposedly the best antenna build, with the DD-WRT firmware to boost signal strength.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, if you don't want to flash the DD-WRT firmware onto this, I'd avoid it. The layout of the stock firmware is trash and caused me multiple headaches while trying to get the DD-WRT firmware installed.

I'm a Linksys fan myself. I like how they look and the user inferface is fine with me.
