I've been using Dlink DIR 860L and it's been working flawlessly with LEDE, 1 gigabit LAN (even NAT'ted), AC wifi. The main advantage of this device is the price (I think it was the cheapest router with gigabit LAN on the market), but now it's gotten a bit old.

I particularly like the QoS features of LEDE.

Afaik, the SoC that is used in this device is the only recent-ish such system on the market with fully open source/free radio firmware (but you need to make sure to get the correct revision, as D-Link changed its innards at least once without renaming the model). I can highly recommend it from my day-to-day experience with it, running Lede 17.01.

I haven't received mine yet, but I've read that you have to get the latest snapshot lede to profit from some WiFi performance bug fixes.
