What kind of problems have you had with your WRT610N?  I have the dual-band Netgear (WNDR3300), and I regret buying it--the reliability has been awful, and that's aside from what I've found to be a useless dual-band feature.  Making matters worse, the web interface offers no way to reboot it remotely (as far as I can tell), so the daily router reboots are a low-tech unplug-and-replug affair (not exactly what you'd hope for in a relatively expensive consumer Wi-Fi router).  The only way I've been able to get a stable wireless connection is by dialing back to 54 Mbps speed... at that point, it works well enough, though it still requires reboots.  I've tried it with a couple different 802.11abgn cards, including the one Netgear makes.  I had my doubts about 802.11n in the first place, but we have an Aruba abgn network at work, and it works beautifully there.

Previously, I had a Belkin Pre-N router--best consumer Wi-Fi gear I've ever purchased.  Never--not once--dropped the connection.  I didn't take advantage of the 802.11n capability, but I didn't really care--the improved wireless stability was well worth it (and router reboots were required no more than once every other month or so).  I gave it to a friend, otherwise I'd be using it again in a heartbeat.
