Replacing my n66u

[MasterBash]

Due to this problem right here http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=20649

I may have to replace my n66u if I do not have a solution to fix it.

I am wondering what is the fastest reliable router out there. I heard the R8000 and AC87U have a lot of problems, so I thought about buying either the R7000 or AC68U. I currently only have one AC device.

Which is the better of the two and which one do you actually recommend if I am (probably unless stock firmware is fast and good) going to install either dd-wrt or tomato.

Thanks.

My issue got fixed (shibby firmware is causing it, RMerlin and stock are fine), I am still looking to upgrade my router and give this one to a family member.

Any idea? Did the R8000, R7500 or AC87U firmware mature a bit? Or am I better with the R7000 or AC68U?

No idea if I will choose tomato or dd-wrt. Probably tomato because I heard its faster and more reliable.
