How about THIS then?

It would help if you told us your budget.

Oooops I see you already have.

I looked at cheaper one can't decided between tp link c5 , or belkin ac1200 both exactly what I need

Personally, I'd go for the C5 and put DD-WRT on it.

The choice is yours though.

I have a stock C7 that works very well. Looked at DD-WRT but AFAIK it doesn't utilise the hardware NAT.

Last time I alter firmware on anything I brick it but I'll look into it

You don't need to change the firmware, I just like the advanced settings available with dd-wrt.

It was a purely personal point of view.
