One modem router which is not on that list and may be worth considering is the talktalk super router (hg635) -- vdsl modem router, Gbit ethernet, ac wifi. Available from a well known auction site

But, I suggest looking through the following link to see the vdsl connection issues some have had with this router.

The AC68U Does seem popular i'll admit, but does it have any meaningful stats/graphing with the standard firmware etc?

Have been running one for a few weeks now without any issues and it's a great one-box solution which seems to be able to maintain a stable DSL connection, sync'ing in our case faster than any other routers we've tried and delivering fast & consistent wifi on 2.4 & 5Ghz bands.
On standard firmware you get detailed DSL stats, traffic monitoring covering wan, lan & wifi traffic, along with some spectrum analysis graphs which are apparently useful for seeing how healthy the connection is.

BT modem 20Mbps down 1.2Mbps up
HG635 2.3Mbps down 1.6Mbps up.
The routers GUI is very basic, no bells and whistles, but it's got the features the average user needs. ie port forward, ddns, stats, wireless settings (independent 2.4 GHz and 5GHz settings), LAN and DHCP settings.
The routers main fault is it's useless at DNS:
1) The routers DNS server is much slower than it should be.
2) If the routers DHCP server is configured to issue your custom DNS setting, so the routers DNS server is not used, then it occasionally forget the DNS IP addresses it should be issuing.
The workaround is to configure the DNS setting in the PC's own network settings.
A recent firmware upgrade failed to fix this dns bug.
When I first got the router none of my devices could do ac wireless so I installed a new ac wifi card in the laptop, this gave me wireless connection speeds of over 800Mbps. The only problem was my laptop didn't like the card so it's was quickly removed -- haven't bothered trying a different ac card as I don't really need faster wifi.
