looks like you can get Alexa to control some functions on the router via the Netgear Skill.
Which one should I get, NETGEAR R7800-100UKS Nighthawk X4S AC2600 or ASUS RT-AC3200 or ASUS RT-AC87U AC2400?

Got the AC87U last week, absolutely stunning piece of kit. Over the moon with it. VPN functionality is spot on and the UI is great. Improved signal around the house as well. Super useful guest network function as well, so as to keep people off of my gateway.

My R7800 with DD-WRT and is dual core 1.7ghz CPU does a great job with a fast VPN connection.

Have you tried LEDE? Much more possibilities.

I had a D7800 from the 2016 Black Friday, it was a piece of trodden turd so I sent it back.
I spotted it again in the Warehouse section, got an extra 20% off and ended up with the £266 modem/router for £122 in 'used - very good' condition.
For that price, I might be able to ignore the issues if they haven't ironed them out through firmware yet.

You're probably better off flashing one of the custom firmware. Much more functionality.

The D versions are nothing like the R equivalents.

Indeed. The VDSL module in the D variants is buggy and unstable, especially the Lantiq chipset in the D7800.

Dubious how useful this actually is....
