Thanks very much for your informative reply. The Netgear R series ( including R7800) look extremely good. But for my own fairly modest needs ( small household, not into gaming etc ) I wonder if there are any less expensive routers - which have an on/off WiFi button ?

The R7000 would probably be best suited for your needs. I believe it has a wifi ON/OFF button on top for easy access. I know the R7800 does.
Good Luck.
