Ok,

The Optus issued ADSL wireless modem/router has given me the shits for the last time.

No more than $200
We have; 3 x Laptops (all -n), 3 x phones, 1 x wireless printer, 1 x PS3 (wireless), 1 x blu-ray/hdd (wireless). Not everything is on at once though.

We don't really do alot of streaming or online gaming etc.

Give me some recommendations.

Personally i'd run a netgear adsl modem and a seperate wireless router/ap. A linksys would probably be the best because they're cheap as hell and are cisco (best) hardware anyway. So cheap but reliable adsl modem and plug that into an ap. Dont bundle them together (wireless and modem as one.)
