Router Advice

My WRT330N is becoming pretty unstable. I've had to reboot it twice this morning.
Any thoughts on a decent Router which can handle a lot of traffic - it acts as a router for copying media files around my home network.

Just checking. If that is the case, then when I'm out on the Eastside tomorrow I'll pick up a Switch.
