Where's the best place to ask for a new wireless router recommendation?

I'm a longtime Optimum Online customer. I almost asked this question in that forum but thought better of it because it's not specific to OOL. My normal setup looks like this:

Cable modem => Wireless router => Switch

Modem is Arris TM802
Router is Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato firmware
Switch is D-Link DGS-2208

I discovered today that the wireless router is seriously constraining my bandwidth. When I have my main desktop computer plugged in to the switch, I get no more than about 35.5 Mbps download results from Speedtest.net. When connected directly to the cable modem, it's been as high as 100.8 Mbps. It looks like I'll have to replace the WRT54GL with something better. Where's the best place to get a good recommendation?

Lots of ways to slice and dice the test results to help you decide.

The top of the line 802.11ac Linksys, Asus, and Netgear AC1900 models are probably a good bet. I am not so sure about Buffalo, Trendnet, and TP-Link,
