without knowing the specs I'd say it'd be hard to tell the difference between the two. Netgear i'd say would be the better quality router, but when you're running wired the speed difference between the two would probably be barely noticeable.

But Netgear get's my vote

if they both offer gigabit ports the difference would not be noticeable. However, some routers offer QoS which does make a nice difference. I say look for features like that when choosing. My trusty dlink 4300 has been a real champ over the years and offers noticeable improvement in gaming when loaded up.
