Wireless router for small business

[tincart]

I am wondering if anyone can suggest a wireless router for the following small business setup:

-Small office (about the size of a large three bedroom apartment) on the second floor of an old brick building. Everyone is on the same floor.
-1 Printer connected via cable
-7 laptops connected via wireless
-Some laptops have older wireless adapters and do not support 802.11n
-Small number of other devices (mostly iPads) also connected via wireless on occasion
-Basic residential cable connection with supplied modem
-Standard network use is primarily E-mail and browser use. Some people may be streaming media while working.

Office currently uses a D-Link WBR-2310 which is crapping out.

Use a switch for the wired aspects, and connect this to a router and the modem from your ISP.

Use one of the switch's ports for the WLAN, and install access points in your office. Ensure that the radiowaves transmit on all WLAN types (,i.e. a,b,g,n), considering not all of your wifi NICs are N standard.

For the cabling, standard Cat 5e/Cat6 should be sufficient.

Should I buy a better wlan router? Also what is a good gigabit switch? Or any will do?

Currently the router acts as the PPPOE login so once I switch over to comcast we wont have that issue.

I don't see a reason why you couldn't just use a single, or a pair of wrt54gl's, set on different channels, flashed to DD-WRT or Tomato.
