Newegg.com - NETGEAR WNR854T for $130

Newegg.com - LINKSYS WRVS4400N for $210

The latter has marginally better reviews, but I'm not convinced it's worth the cash.

Yes, both will work with Verizon FiOS.

It's your money. I'd take the Netgear because a lot of the complaints aren't things that bother me (like rebooting for settings changes).

Just like the previous airport base stations, I doubt they'll update it until a new wifi standard is available.
