Recommend a powerful (in terms of speed + max. load) WiFi 802.11n router

Good evening.
Now at home there is a TP-LINK TL-WR541G and a lot of devices that are connected to it. Recently, the point began to hang regularly (and used to hang, but not so often), fail and slow down. I want an update.
In connection with the advent of the monitor, I want to watch movies over the network, and so that the rest still have a channel for surfing. Accordingly, I want support for 802.11n (naturally, with MIMO), speed - from 300 Mbit / s (according to the declared characteristics, it is clear that the real one will be several times less). For the rest of the parameters - I want the maximum "beast". Budget - 4-6 thousand.

If you have no experience, you can advise a manufacturer who has no problems with firmware stability and hardware glitches.

Netgear WNDR3700 - market.yandex.ru/model.xml?hid=723087&modelid=5076168&show-uid=278076513076039511
Of the home solutions, probably the most powerful

Once again, I will stand up for the Netgear WNR3500L. For six months it has never hung, it gives out 95 Mbit / s via PPPoE, the speed via WiFi is around 11 MByte / s, the HD Ready (720p) movie on the media player via WiFi goes without brakes, however, I have not tried FullHD. If desired, alternative firmware is installed (Tomato, OpenWRT, DD-WRT) - and instructions on how to do this are on the manufacturer's website.

Well, in general, you want the impossible - “from 300 Mbps”. At best, you should hope for 100-120 Mbps (this is if there are 3 circuits and there are no other N-oks in the district). Only industrial outlets, which do not fit into 3-5k, will be able to offer you more. In addition, do not forget that when a G-client is connected to an average static router, the connection speed drops sharply to 54, and the actual data transfer rate to 30-40.
By subject - I can advise dlink 825. Key feature - you can create 4 points (2 at 2.4GHz and 2 at 5GHz). When a slow client connects to one of the points, the rest do not sag. And so - on the wire via pptp we press 90 Mbps, on wifi in one circuit - 40 Mbps.

I did not test it myself, but the reviews are good.

Everyone says something different. I actually xs. I have Linksys, not N really, but it works quite well for itself, I don’t remember even freezing. But at one time I gave normal money for him, something more than $ 100. This model is for corp. customers was, not for home. :)
In general, regarding performance, the first thought about Mikrotik came. I don’t know how they are with waffle modules, but LAN is pumped better than any asus, at least because of the processor.

I had a dlink that was always hanging. I replaced it with Time Capsule - two networks, one I use for g devices, the other for n, and an additional useful feature - a place for backup. I'm not sure if the budget is enough, but you can try AirPort Extreame - everything is the same only without space for backups.

The provider is not a beeline? If so, then check in advance whether the firmware you want works with it. The same advice if you have another provider from those who practice tricky VPN settings.
