Best Wireless Router

So I need to upgrade my router that my ISP gave me cause it's terrible, and I want something really good, as I run a HTPC with a DNLA server on it for streaming around the house, I also have my Gaming PC on the other end of the house so I need good range on the router, on top of that there are loads of devices connecting to it, about about 5 PCs and 5 phones and a printer and a few other things.

I know WiFi Isn't the only option, but it's the easiest for me, and even if I used powerline I'd still have to have wireless for laptops and phones.

I've picked 2 that look really good, but I'm not sure which is best: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007W16SMO

The Asus one looks like it might have better range because on the external aerials but idk .Any other suggestions?

Thanks guys.
