Need something simple for In-Laws

My In-laws router is dying. Even though we live at opposite ends of the country, I'm tech support for all computer related issues great and small.

Of the current crop of wireless routers, what is the simplest, most bomb proof router I can get for them. Doesn't have to be the fastest. Doesn't need tons of bells and whistles. Just needs to have relatively easy setup and maintenance.

Thanks!

I know I'll get a bit of hate here...

Linksys SmartWifi - not very complicated, secure WAN connectivity... the client side is not exposed, not the internet/wan side, it's a secure tunnel.

I'm not the biggest fan of Linksys, or the SmartWiFi platform - but what I can say...

I've got 4 year plus managing a Linksys WRT1900acV1 remotely for a parent... and it just works.

I'm Sold! This sounds just about perfect for this use case.
