With so many to choose from, it helps to start with a price point. Even if its not a exact amount;budget,bang for buck,high end, money is no issue, etc.

Also, do any of the devices use Wifi AC?

Last, is it possible to run ethernet from upstairs to downstair? A smaller wireless router with a wireless AP running off it is a good way to get range without the need for larger routers or repeaters.

Starting to get a little long in the tooth, but I noticed the RT-N66U is on sale on Newegg for 80$ with promo EMCEJFT27.

The most powerful radio I've found in a router is on the Netgear Nighthawk.  The R7000 retails for about $180, don't know if that's outside your budget but a great device.  I recommend both the Netgear Nighthawk and ASUS.  I installed an R7000 as a replacement for a friend's wrt54g in the basement of his split level house.  He was amazed at the signal strength improvement on the upper level and back porch.
