Huawei HG612 modem running unlocked firmware + Asus RT-AC66U on Merlin firmware. Faultless performance.
Asus RT-N66U running Merlin firmware. Does the job very nicely but does occasionally need to be power cycled. I don't remember it doing that on the stock Asus firmware but for that reason I wouldn't recommend it.
I've got a Cisco 1921 sitting idle which I'll put in when I get the time.
Using a Buffalo WBMR-HP-G300H running DD-WRT flashed it to DD-WRT as the wi-fi and router kept dropping the internet connection. Now the up time goes on forever unless I flash the firmware to the latest DD-WRT
Fritz.box 7490, because I'm worth it
No seriously its overkill. Though it is all in one box.
Virgin Superhub 2AC in modem mode to a Sophos UTM that distributes to a Netgear Switch which then distributes around the house via Zyxel Powerline adapters for ethernet + Wireless. Having drop outs but I think the Zyxels are having problems with my mains infrastructure, something to do with my fuse board. May look at secretly wiring the place up without the landlord knowign at some point.
a tp-link td-w8960n nothing great but after my asus wl-600g died I had to use the alcatel celpipe from my ISP which I realized that is garbage in basic qos, so I had to get something better but I didn't had much money to go again on the level of wl-600g, so I got that cheap tplink.
Not extremely satisfied but I feel for that 30 euros it does the job better than the one from the ISP.
I've got the bt hub 5 I struggle to get more than 1mbps in my area
Twin old DIR-615 with DD-WRT and TP-Link Powerline adapters (due to range and walls).
Haven't changed my config in years and works perfectly.
Even with different providers, if I can't spoof their router I just use another subnet for the ISP and my internal configuration never changes, so no extra work

On a semi-related note:
After much mentions of the virgin superhub (mine is v1), i had another look round the web interface.
It has been admittedly improved greatly since i gave up on it entirely many years ago. The interface is still not brilliant, but it no longer seems to be the only router in existence where all web interface reboot commands have been removed*
Still, in modem-mode, much of the web-interface pages are accessible, but not listed by the default admin page**
As for the horrendous stability problems i used to have: i'm not testing that, the DD-WRT router is working fine as it is and i do not wish to re-do all the wifi devices
*in the end i got so fed up of having to trundle downstairs to pull the power lead everytime the modem had issues, i brought a smartphone-controlled WiFi AC plug switch and attached it to the superhub PSU.
**after messing about with the superhub web UI in router mode, it turns out many of the status/configuration pages are still accessible via my browser-history, but they're simply not linked in the web-ui. Whether this was the case in the past i don't know.
I'm using Asus's RT-AC68R router for home. A steady stream of updates, not to mention superb engineering, has kept this router at the center of my connected world.

A trusty old Netgear DG834. I don't think changing it will benefit me for what I use unless switching to the providers own model gets me more bandwidth!

Man I had one of those for *ages*. The only reason I changed it at all was the antenna took a bang. An epically stable router for sure. Of course, even if I didn't accidentally damage it, GigE became a thing awhile back and 802.11g is woefully behind what my client hardware supports, and now I'm on 240mbps cable. Damn you infernal advancing technology!
