What router would I recommend. Thats a challenge. Because the forums is where we always see people reporting issues so it makes us a bit bitter at a lot of the routers. But if you read any router makers forum, you'll find issues with them all. (most are based on similar chipsets/hardware). 

What I'd recommend doing is figuring out what you need and going a step or 2 above that. 

What size is your home? 

What materials is it made from?

What speeds do you pay for? 

Do you think you'll be upgrading speeds at some point or getting fibre/etc?

Do you game? Streaming a lot of shows?

My recommendation would be based around those answers as some people a single router solution is fine. For others, I push for mesh systems. mesh might not be able to hit the same peak speeds but they provide much better speeds over a larger area. I've got both flagship routers and mesh systems and even though the flagship routers are faster, I still end up going back to mesh.
