I know this appears in reviews, but report from experience with this router (I have 2!) with VM SHUB1. I can confirm it is great with VM 100Mb/s service, but limitations seen with next speed double.
With my normal config with Tomato plus superhub in modem mode the maximum wired wan to lan was 160Mb/s, 50Mb/s less than direct to modem. WAN to wireless was less, but similar to wired speeds if wireless to second router wired to first - suggesting CPU limit hit. With Asuswrt-merlin can speedtest to limits of modem wired when ctf enabled, which seems fine wouldn't have to even thibnk about QOS if VM upped the upstream!
I never understand this class of router marketed as N900. Max wireless connect speed is 450Mb/s (3 streams 3 antennae), which seems to be capable of 150Mb/s data transfer! Perhaps full duplex wired Ethernet should be marketed as 2000Mb/s since it is so much better!
Never measured power consumption - this router does run hot, has a big internal heat sink no fans, mine is wall mounted which I think is ideal for heat dissipation, the PSU is 18V and there are a number of internal switch-mode 3.3V convertors, so should be energy efficient?
