In the market for a new Router

Hello there!
I've been thinking about upgrading the router in my house for a bit now. The Cisco cheapo model I currently have drops signal constantly (compared to my old linksys that crapped out), and I have 3 other roommates that are now all starting to use their laptop's/Xbox's/other stuff. What do I need to look for in a router? Is there something off newegg that's a good deal? I might also be able to split the cost, so money shouldn't be much of an issue.

To the point, I am also looking for a good Wireless N router that won't cause me as many headaches as the one I have now.
It's expensive, but what you get is an easy to configure, crazy reliable box that will never drop signal on you.
And you do not need to be an apple house to make use of it. It is fantastic at handling my 360, my AppleTV, an iPad, two phones and a standalone computer all doing stuff at once, and no hiccups.

*I do things like stream 1080i raw TV recordings over wireless to other computers. They clock in at 3GB/30 minutes of video. No stuttering in the playback at all.
