I use the Asus AC86U, really pleased with it.
Another 86U user here, the FW is good, even better if you run the Merlin custom ones.
Significantly better available for less. Draytek are an IT persons knee-jerk reaction. Wouldn't waste my time with them.
You asked almost the same question earlier and the advice given was virtually the same, it’s an overly expensive and technically average bit of kit, nothing about it justifies the price or usage based on what you’ve said. Surely as you’ve asked twice now, we should be asking why do you want this router? What’s the logic behind making the choice you seem set on despite three people now saying it’s distinctly average and you can do better for the money?
Also remember your SH3 won’t do modem only mode.
What additional features/issues are you looking to resolve over the SH3. I’ve only used Virgin in their Business guise and the Modem/router/switch/WiFi AP they provide seems pretty reasonable.
If what the previous post says about the SH3 not having a ‘modem’ or ‘bridge’ mode is correct then putting a second router behind the SH3 will possibly give you more issues than solutions. For a start, make sure you can turn off NAT on one of the devices or it will slow you down.

I’ve always thought of replacing my sky q hub with something like an ac88u (already have an eci hg612 from a while back in the cupboard) but as it will sit in the living room I’m not a fan of the antennas on them and it does a seem a bit bulky compared to the Q. Still, the improvements it will offer will probably outweigh all those issues.
Tenda AC9 AC1200 beats them all

LMAO Wouldn’t give Tenda networking kit to my worst enemy. I’d take the Draytek over the Tenda.
But you have no information on it. I am using the Tenda and it is the perfect router.
Why do you choose the trolling path instead of constructive discussion?
I have all the information I need. "Tenda" was enough. I'm not trolling anybody, I'm lending the opinion the OP asked for.
Adversely why do you think it is perfect? Purely because you have bought it? I'm recommending a router I don't use but KNOW is tried and tested and has a significantly well known and positive track record.
