Router options for Fibre Optic

[Lasoya]

Hey guys, will be moving into my new house soon and it has Fibre Optic through Opticomm.

Been researching decent routers that can be used on the Fibre network. Tossing up between the Cisco Linksys EA6500 Smart Wi-Fi Router or the Netgear WNDR4500 N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router.

Any tech experts who can shed some light on what im after would be greatly appreciated. Needs to have good WiFi range and 1xgigabyte WAN port and 4x Lan ports. Will be set up in garage in conjunction with my smart wiring panel

Cheers

I have a hardwired point at the front (study) and rear of the house (theatre room) and have a WNDR4500 at both. Unless you have a small small house, you'll lose signal through the walls. Plus if like me you get fibre optic TV and Foxtel signals, you'll want to plug in Foxtel rather than run it wirelessly (plus TV / PS3 / amplifier etc).

That's wireless from a "100Mb" connection (generally gets 85 - 90Mb) that is in my study (I'm sitting in my theatre room). The theatre one runs around 35 - 40Mb. So its not mssive, but you do drop off a bit.

The Asus rtn65u is the newer version of the rtn56u, lets throw that in as one of the options. I like the linksys router but have heard a few bad reviews on it, Netgear or Asus, what is more reliable and better support?
