If you are going to use custom firmware make sure the router you buy is supported. There are many router models which have different / changed versions of the same router. Not all of them are compatible all the time.
Really the biggest jump will be going to the 5ghz band. If you get a newer unit with an upgrade processor (quad core or more) you can use them as NAS and they work well. The older versions, like my RTAC66 have a dual core and it chokes after a time when using it as a plex box connected via usb. Instead i went to a BlacX connected to a laptop I leave on all the time as a media server and I have far less issues.
