I just picked up an ACRH17 to use as an AP. I also use several ACRH13 models as APs. The ACRH17 is definitely faster than my 13 was with the multiple devices I have connected to it.
For my actual router I still use an old RT-N56U Asus with Padavan firmware. That thing has been rock solid for eight years and can max out it's gigabit WAN to LAN/LAN to WAN connection with ease.
