Looking for a business grade router that will support up to 15 wireless clients downloading/uploading data simultaneously.

Brand doesn't matter, just need a router that will be reliable and able to handle the load. Cost isn't a huge deal, but obviously the cheaper the better.

The Linksys E3000 isn't business grade hardware but with DD-WRT Mega installed it will have a lot of the software features of business APs/routers. The E3000 has 6 antennas which will allow you to simultaneously broadcast G and N on the 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz spectrum which can greatly help with load when a lot of people are using the router. Just make sure you have some users on the 5 Ghz band and not everyone on the 2.4.
DD-WRT will also allow you to bridge or repeat wireless signal so if you find one isn't good enough you can distribute the load with multiple APs and they will still be cheaper than most business grade Cisco's.
I've never stressed tested my E2000 but I have had 5 devices connected at once without problems and the E2000 only has 3 antennas and doesn't allow simultaneous 2.4/5Ghz broadcasting.
