Need advise - wired gigabit router

    Good day to all. I am wondering if anyone can advise me on purchasing a gigabit router. I have a need for both wired and wireless connections. Wireless is OK as long as it has wired gigabit ports - I will just turn the wireless off.

    I currently run a Time Capsule in bridge mode behind my D-Link DI-604 router. This setup works fine for now, but only runs at 10/110 speeds and supports only IPV4. I am looking to gain both IPV6 support and gigabit speeds. The wired network supports gigabit ethernet.

    I would use the Time Capsule as my router but from what I have read it’s firewall is not as robust as what a standalone router offers. I was looking at the D-Link DIR-645 (on sale today at Buy.com for just $60) but it did not get good reviews.  I am familiar with D-Link’s web-based administration so they get first consideration - just for easy transition to a new unit.

    Any ideas? Thank you in advance for your consideration.
