Can any one recommend a really good access point / router, if possible also supporting upcoming .ac-standard.

I currently have an airport extreme in use, which had issues and seem to have issues again. With a big load (probably just parallel connection and not the bandwidth volume) it seems to crash spontaneously. Since its now a few years old already I thought about a change.

Talking with some coworkers about this it seems like other access point hardware have similar issues. I tried an ASUS access point / router for a short time but its backend configuration looks way more complicated in compare to the airport one.

Price range is not that important, but it should not exceed $200 / €150. Any additional feature like for example USB-Drive-Support is welcome but not really necessary.

What features I actually expect:
- at least 4x Gigabit Ethernet Ports (the better the more, I currently need an additional Switch)
- at least WLAN n-standard
- port forwarding configuration

If possible:
- WLAN ac-standard
- USB-Drive-Support (USB3?)
- WLAN signal intense configuration (power of antenna signal strength)
- Heater (airport extreme can get quite hot)
- low power usage in general (I have seen a Kickstarter project about a touchscreen-driven device which consumed quite a lot)
- dyndns update service

Hey over there, I just joined this forum!

I am a software developer and recently tried an own project: A service is continuesly listening to the blockchain websocket api (live stream of all unconfirmed transactions) and send out notification mails (or push notifications via smartphone app) to those who enabled it for a certain bitcoin address. A notification mail is sent out when bitcoins are sent to the specific address.

There are already services that exactly doing this (free and paid services) so I would like to either offer it as a free service and/or publish its source code. The basic version with email notifications is already done.
Just one issue came in my mind which makes it not very user-friendly: You have to update the bitcoin address every time after it changes (if the client works like this). Maybe anyone has a idea how to solve this, but I actually doubt there will be any solution though...
