Electronics any wireless router recommendations?

My netgear r6300 is out of warranty and has recently been very flaky. Wireless clients are losing internet regularly and a few times I had to reflash the firmware after it was corrupted. I love the functionality of it and overall speed, but if I spend another $200 for the same model and it gets flaky after 1.5 years I'll be pissed.

my desired features:

bandwidth & throughput: Household of 4 that streams HD video and plays online games simultaneously. We have PCs, laptops, ipads, ipods, smartphones, etc. on the home network. I'm paying for Comcast's highest speed tier (oh please google fiber come to Denver!)
access to change settings & read detailed logs:I've found numerous problems after reviewing security logs and I do like being able to configure various network settings.
OpenDNS Need to be able to use this to keep the kids from finding magazines in the woods.
scheduling: I like the ability to have the kids devices unavailable for network access throughout the night. Best yet if I can set different schedules for different devices.
lan ports: Got 3 devices I like to have wired instead of wireless.
