I’m surprised to hear that AirPort is giving you trouble. In my experience they will do upwards of 200 Mb/s. Do you have a connection faster than this?
Nowadays, because AirPort has a poor PPPoE implementation that doesn’t do baby jumbo frames or native IPv6, I use my own Linux-powered router (a Mac Mini, in fact). AirPort is now used just for providing wireless bridging. However, if I were still on cable, I’m pretty sure I’d still be using AirPort for everything. If you want to know who I’d recommend instead of Apple, I’m afraid the answer is that, in spite of all the evident need, the market just doesn’t seem to provide any equipment—even top-end equipment—that doesn’t suck as a consumer router, is some capacity or other. But, at a pinch, Draytek do very good work, with a nice feature set, albeit with the typically incomprehensible documentation in broken English. Since you mentioned Raspberry Pi, consider all the options involving a machine with two NICs (one of which may be external), such as PFSense. It would also be possible to use a Mac in this capacity, although I’d think hard before dedicating a machine to such a task. The idea here is that you run the software necessary to perform the firewall function. If you are up to this, you will need to get your hands a bit dirty. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
