What is a good Wireless N Ethernet Bridge?

I'm looking to replace my Linksys Wireless B Ethernet Bridge with something that supports 802.11N for my Xbox 360. I'd like it to support WPA / WPA2 and was aiming between $40-$60 if possible. I want something more general than the XBOX 360 Wi-Fi adapter so I'm not limited to just the console should I need to use it for something else. Any help is welcome.

I have a Buffalo NFiniti Wireless-N Dual Band Ethernet Converter that is sitting in a box at home (I keep meaning to hook it up and haven't had the time yet). People on Amazon seem to be raving about it though. Sadly, it's $85, so it's a bit pricier than what you're looking for.

That said, it does support up to 4 ethernet ports, 801.11n, and WPA / WPA2. More info here:

I would test out the range first and make sure you will get N speeds at the location of the device before upgrading. you can use a tool like LANSpeed Test to determine this. Run the test first near your router and then move to where your xbox is and run it again.

I recommend to do this because despite having an N router in my house, the second I move to the upstairs the speed gets cut in half due to interference.

I'm not qualified to give you a direct answer myself, but you might want to look here: www.smallnetbuilder.com/
That site's a great place for getting reviews on all the routers and bridges out there and making an informed decision.
