Thinking of picking up a new router on Boxing Day.
Any recommendations? What's good? What should I stay away from?

Since it's Boxing Day, you should get one of those George Foreman Routers.

Get one that can run OpenWRT. If it has a lot of flash you can install useful packages using opkg and augment your experience.

avoid Belkin
avoid Linksys units that aren't WRT or MAX-STREAM
Whatever it is make sure you overclock/watercool for the best internet
ASUS make quite resilient routers. I have had one in the same room as the main heater for the house and has not blown up in four years. Good heat dissipation from the build, seems to handle 5+ concurrent connections with great QoS. Still going strong, DSL-N55U. Even has DDoS protection which can confirm works as intended.
Don't buy ASUS wireless adapters though (can't speak for USB) the PCI-e one I had started dropping packets after just a year..

I have the one in OP's pic, can't remember the name. But it runs OpenWRT and it's great!

I-it's not suppose to blow up...
The heater doesn't do anything to it
