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.

Not to be evil but you have to do a little research on your own for 3rd party support.

Another R7800 fan boy here.

It isn't evil to tell someone that it is a bit silly asking for advice here about alternative firmware. This is a Netgear community. While some people here are familiar with alternatives, genuine experts may be rare. And Netgear probably isn't keen to encourage such use. (It would break any warranty.)
