I have an TPLink Archer C8 and I can highly recommend it. It's an "AC 1750" class router (just the maximum theoretical speeds of the 2.4 and 5GHz added together) so it's not "cutting edge" but it has a decent dual core ARM CPU and a very nice antenna setup.
I use it with a 200 Mb Virgin service (I put the Virgin-provided "super" hub into modem only mode and feed it from that) and it covers the whole house with high quality signal.
I can get excellent 5 GHz coverage indoors with 40 MB/s to and from the server, which is more than 25% over the max speed from the internet.
The 2.4 network is also good enough to give us useful coverage in the garden (which is on the opposite side of the house from where the router is) without crowding from neighbouring wifi.
The other big bonus - it's great value.
Edit: I own this one, but it's out of stock, but there's an updated Archer C9 version here.
You really don't need the AC3200 ones - they're pretty expensive and are beyond what you need in terms of routing performance for a home setup, even with heavy Netflix, Steam, online gaming etc use. The AC1750-class is sort of the sweet spot of really solid performance to price ratio.
