I think it would be a little absurd to spend $100 on any router, unless it has special features you need. Like that D-Link for example, if you are a pirate who runs torrent 24/7, then you will benefit from not having your router bogged down all the time. But if you do that, you would be smarter to not use wireless at all to torrent.

Some routers (like my $60 Asus) have torrent functionality built right in (though I never use it) along with a printer server and a USB port you can plug hard drives into for instant NAS.
