After looking at the threads, I got a lot of choices now. Either I get
1. TPLINK C3150v2 - 256MB ram, dual core 1.4GHz
2. Asus AC68U - 256MB ram, dual core 1GHz
3. Asus AC87U Second Hand - 256MB ram, dual core 1GHz
4. Mikrotik router + Archer C1200 as access point - 256MB ram, dual core 800MHz
All around the same price except choice 4 where I get mikrotik router.
Which one should I get?
Most importantly I would like stability despite of what I throw at it
Not sure about the stability of C3150v2. Anyone have run it for at least a month and seen any restarts or any restarts required for good performance?
I have all routers above so maybe I can give you some insights.1. TPLINK C3150v2 - 256MB ram, dual core 1.4GHz
2. Asus AC68U - 256MB ram, dual core 1GHz
3. Asus AC87U Second Hand - 256MB ram, dual core 1GHz

C3150 have some seriously good wireless ability. Stability is good, I own one and a few people at the TP-Link thread have good experience with it.
RT-AC68U is a bit old at this point but the features it offers are amazing. AsusWRT is still the best in the industry in terms of features.
Avoid AC87U, the 5Ghz wireless is known for being problematic due to the Quantenna chipset.
Mikrotik is the hardcore choice. Fully fledged networking features but not easy to tame. If that's your thing, you can consider that.
It's all about preference. I would go for the C3150 just for the sake of wireless performance. If it's a home router, you probably do not need those routing features in a Mikrotik router anyway. Wireless performance is much more important.
