I've honestly given up completely on all residential routers, they seem
to be slowly converging on a common denominator which is that none of
them work properly and only last a few months. I had to replace my
router recently, and just got a Mikrotik instead. One of the guys I work
with just replaced his old Linksys with a Mikrotik, and all of his minor
problems went away.
I used to think that it was a bad idea to provide managed routers to end
users, but I'm slowly changing my mind after realizing how many issues
are caused by them. There's also a lot you could do to provide better
service to an end user, hypothetically.. let's say you put in a DD-WRT
or Mikrotik router and setup some shaping on the client side with SFQ.
They'd probably see a lot less issues with their Netflix buffering when
their Xbox was downloading a game, or their VoIP cutting out when
they're watching Daredevil in 4K.
