I stopped buying off the shelf "routers" a long time ago. They never met my needs. They're a router, a switch and a wireless access point mashed into one. No matter which one I bought, I'd have to reboot it weekly...

Currently running pfSense on an old PC for a router, a Netgear 48 port switch and Ubiquiti Unifi access points. It's not for most people but it's rock solid, the only downtime is power outage and router updates. pfSense lets me run cool things like proxy caching and virus scan every packet that comes in.
