Honestly, I would get one on sale, that you can return if needed. I would test it out. I am willing to bet even a $50 router will be night and day.
I'm sure some of us can give suggestions as to some good ones.

Even the E900 from memex @ $40 is way better in my experience than the Shaw/Telus routers. Likely, you should consider a dual band option like the EA2700, which should only be slightly more expensive, and allow for those 5GHz devices to shine.
