Question of the Day: What brand of router do you use?

After going through extensive work to get my network back up and running over the last couple of days, the final piece to the puzzle was a new router.  I added a Linksys E1000 Wireless-N Router, and am so far very happy.  Out of curiosity, what type are you using and are you happy with it?
