I don't exactla have lots of space for my gadgets so I need to watch out for space, power and stuff like that.
Requirements:
1. Gbit switch at least 4 port
2. OpenVPN
3. Standard DC power connector using either 12V or 5V DC
4. 802.11n (not sure if I really need dual band, but it wouldn't hurt I guess)

I've been looking at these:
1. ASUS RT-N56U
2. D-Link DIR-825
3. LinkSys e3000
4. Netgear WNDR 3700 / 3800
5. ASUS RT-N15U

They all seem to support my requirements, except the ASUS which has a 19V power supply. But it has such nice reviews. All others seem to have a fault here or there.
Looking for an alternative I stumbled upon the #5 (RT-N15U) which has by far the weakest power supply (max 12W) of all my contestants (others typically 20 - 30W) - which I extremely like), but it doesn't support 5GHz, let alone any dual banding. On top of that there are currently no reviews.

So which router should I get?
