Netgear R9000 should be the most powerful out of all the routers and I think used by BrainSlayer (main developer).
You can find firmware for R9000 router under the betas.
This site kind of cool too. Click performance button. I've seen issues with R8500 so avoid buying that one. Support added in for WRT3200 but I think needs little more work still. etc, etc,

Netgear R7800 will do great, after R9000 its the most powerful router...as well it trades at good price it has
geat DD WRT support too...
p.s. R6400 and R7000 will also do great, but consider time fly's R7800 wont be outdated soon, and price wise R7800 is more reasonable, as well you need solid range to operate in concrete wall's house... _________________ Atheros

I don't see any laptop on the devices list so I don't think you will need neither R9000 nor 7800, they are overkill for you since can't see you cracking the router's azz with vpn/torrenting/qos/VNs, I would go for R6400, and you also have APs so less than justified the formers. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)

if budget is not and issue consider price/performance factor R7800 is much better , I would't go to R9000 yet as its drivers are still in development...but is also a plan if so..
R6400 and R7000 ware good in the past, but not with all that modern fast internet with VPN's and so on... you'd need a proper unit to survive next 2-3 years if the Internet tings are progressing that fast _________________ Atheros

It's true about 7800 price/performance, and that's why tomorrow I'm getting mine , but 6400 cost is half the price, and unless he would have a gigabit connection in the future (which given the list of devices it wouldn't be worth it either) then it's not worth the jump. About VPN as always mentioned, not everyone on ddwrt uses VPN. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)
