I wouldn't recommend Asus routers. I used to have one, but got rid of it due to the serious security problems they were having: http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/02/dear-asus-router-user-youve-been-pwned-thanks-to-easily-exploited-flaw/ http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/02/dear-asus-router-use... http://thehackernews.com/2016/02/asus-router-security-hack.html http://thehackernews.com/2016/02/asus-router-security-hack.h... (some random article I found, giving an overview of some of the other problems) Now I use a Mikrotik. The only downside is the UI is quite powerful and allows you to hang yourself if you're not careful. It's definitely not for non-engineers. However, it does get regular updates since it's targeted at a more professional market.

I've read about that too a while ago, thank you. I believe those should have been fixed by now but being objective, we really can't know for sure, so I am with you here. Please note that I said "if you're on a budget or you're not fussed giving $200+ on a router" however. I am aware that there are compromises to be made when one doesn't buy professional equipment. Not disagreeing with you. Only adding nuance. FWIW I won't be looking for other middle-ground solutions after I figure it's time to upgrade again (which is gonna be in the next 1-2 years maximum). I'll just go full in with the 5-pack of Ubiquiti and hope for the best. Do you know of any exploits in the Ubiquiti firmware?

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out Mikrotik.
