I've historically stuck with Linksys, no real problems once DD-WRT is on there.

I ordered some EnGenious routers/APs the other day for bridging from a business to a house, was pretty impressed with them.
 
I have used both linksys and netgear routers and haven't had problems.

I was actually under the assumption that Belkin couldn't make a reliable device.
 
residential - linksys & d-link (biggest issue with d-link I've found is the power adapters die, which is why I stock replacements @ $20/per)

commerical/business - linksys/cisco

I try to keep businesses as standard as I can. the worst thing for IT is to go into a business that has a completely custom setup and no documentation.

*I've actually been stocking and selling more Trendnet networking as of late and I have to say i'm fairly impressed with it, good connection rates, cheap and because its not a brand in most big box stores I dont have to compete directly with the price like i do with linksys.

Just started looking at watchguard for firewalls but havent tried them out yet. Would be interest in any ones first-hand impression of them

My favorite router is a Linksys WRT54GL, with the proper version of DD-WRT for its purpose. Just set up two in a site-to-site VPN this weekend and it went swimmingly.
The one in my office has been working well; Pushing two SSIDs, a couple of VLANs, a VPN and a few other services for a few years now. For the price, you really can't beat it.
