NETGEAR R7500 vs NETGEAR R7800 vs Belkin RT3200 for openWRT?

I am looking for a router with easy installation and stable wifi for my home. I am looking for a router which has an easy install process (a drag and drop installation like the one mentioned in the R7500 page). Are the mentioned routers stable enough for a home use? I have a TV and PC connected via Ethernet and about 15-20 devices in my house connected via wifi.

    I have the R7800 and I can say it's definitely stable, but getting on age. But if you want to put a third-party firmware one any of those, you better ask on the OpenWrt forums. This one is for stock NG firmware only.

    PS: my R7800 runs on Voxel's, which is stock with updated components, tweaks and fixes.
