Thanks for your help everyone. Sorry it took so long to return, I've have been away sick and just getting back in the game. I will bring your suggestions to the chief and hopefully get somewhere.
Personally for myself, I prefer Linksys (Cisco). I have found the quickest to setup and reliable. Just purchased a Netgear router for myself at home, and returned it as my my current router was much better. Tried a Cicso E3000 and was great, the only problem is it quit on me just after I finished setting up all the PC's and phones (perfect timing) so that went back too. The only issue was getting my netbook to access the internet, but that's another topic I will start maybe tomorrow.
@Tipster, that setup is quite impressive, we currently have something similar now, only all components are d-link and with 1 16-port switch.
