New router suggestions

[Cheetah Designs]

I am looking at the asus rt-ac87u but does anyone have any suggestions for others that I should look at?

Same as most I expect:
- Stable
- Fast
- Large range
- Priced around the same as the rt-ac87u

Apologies, ok I will try and narrow it down.

My devices are all AC capable and WIFI (with the exception of one iPad). I would like to maximize the range, stability and speed of the connection.

As an example, currently I cannot mirror my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge to my Chromecast without it being laggy. Devices are at max 2.5m around from my current router.

I wouldn't use custom features or firmware, just how it comes out of the box.

It would be nice to have the ADSL modem built in, but most don't seem to have this.

Sounds like the only thing you really want is to upgrade to AC. You don't need a new router for that.

Add the Unifi AP to your network, disable wifi on your existing router and you're done. Use the same ssid and password and your devices won't even notice (unless you're using MAC filtering!)

I don't really care about the technology. My benchmark is that I should be able to Stream a HD video from the internet to my phone and be able to mirror my screen at the same time to my TV via the chromecast without lagging.

I live in a block of flats so every channel is saturated (if that makes sense)
