I'd probably look at the R7800. in that price range, has the feautres you want, has 3rd party software (which these forums can't/won't help you with). 

Plus its been a fairly solid/reliable/good performing router imo.

I agree with plemans . 

The r7800 is probably the least screwed up firmware wise of the the Netgear line. Firmware on most others is just BAD, and seemingly no oversite. Other advantage is, as stated, you can run 3rd party on it should you want to go in that direction.
