I recently went from a Netgear 834B to a Linksys WRT610N, and I couldn't be happier.

I used to have to power cycle the Netgear weekly, but I haven't had to power cycle the Linksys once since I installed it a few months ago.

Plus, noone nearby my house uses the 5Ghz band (2.4 is chock full), so I have no problems with interference.

I know it's a bit more than the $100 you set, but I think it's well worth the money (More future proof too).

The only thing is that it runs pretty hot, and Ii built a little stand off to get more airflow underneath it.

This review from Toms Hardware really helped me out in nailing down which router I wanted:
