From reading all the different threads about this, it sounds like the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. Hardware: Build quality of the WRT1900AC is the best, followed by R7000 and then 68U (USB shielding and Wifi interference issues - is this meaningful?)
2. Stock Firmware: WRT1900AC is the most stable, followed by AC68U (improved significantly) and then R7000 (borderline unusable). WRT1900AC has the least features relative to the other two.
3. Performance: R7000 is better than Asus 68U by a small margin and both are better WRT1900AC by a decent margin
4. Third party firmware support: AC68U with RMerlin's custom firmware seems to run better than R7000 with Kong's DD-WRT. WRT1900AC's Marvell chipset makes 3rd party support an issue.
Does anyone agree / disagree with these conclusions? Not a technical expert but trying to buy one of these and spent way too much time reading this forum to decide
