Hi,
The Linksys E4200 was my favourite wireless router, too. I very nearly purchased one last month, Unfortunately, the recent release of the V2 of the hardware is slightly less compelling than the 1st (In my opinion).

The Cisco brand is synonymous with networking hardware, and the Cisco badge looks impressive on the router, nevertheless the badge is the only part of the router that is Cisco. It is a Linksys. This is not necessarily a bad thing, Linksys have made some fine networking hardware in the past (including my own WRT54GL), but you will not be buying Cisco at this price point. Again, this is nothing to worry about. You don't need Cisco for a simple home network. If you are buying network hardware for a small business, on the other hand...
(A while ago, Cisco purchased the Linksys brand in order to give them an easy entrance into the rapidly growing low end SOHO market. Up until then, all Cisco gear was pretty much high-end enterprise hardware).
I would echo the question asked in the other forum you posted in. We really need to know your requirements for the router, in terms of the features and performance you need.
for the vast majority of people, the following represents all the wireless router they need:

It lacks some of the features of the higher-end routers, and it is unashamedly a budget router, but it does the job for less than £50.
