I live in a house of 6 people. As of late, the Internet in our house has been very slow. I want to game, while for the most part the rest of my family will be using YouTube, Netflix and the like. We have an Xbox 360, my desktop gaming PC, 5 iPhones, a Nexus Phone, 4 iPads, an Apple Laptop, 2 Windows Laptops, 2 TVs and my Dad's work laptop when he brings it home. Our router is fairly old and I've been pressing for a new one for a long time, but now we're in the market. What we're looking for is one that can handle many devices under a decent load at once. During peak times our current router just doesn't cut it anymore. 2 bands is preferable. Extra features on the router are nice, but not necessary. We aren't super tech savvy, so if it comes with an easy setup program or a good manual that's also a plus. I'm going to be doing some online competitive gaming (CS:GO, League of Legends) so it needs to be able to maintain a constant speed. While that ultimately relies on the ISP, our current router doesn't do a good job at this while the connection coming to it is fairly good most of the time. Finally, while the price isn't a huge deal, I don't think we're looking at anything over 200$ dollars unless it's exceptional. Thanks for your time!
 


Here's our internet speed: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/1625833020

Usually there's around 2-3 other people using the Internet for music, YouTube and the like while I'm gaming.

We have a 2WIRE 3800HGV-B Router from ATT and have been using for really as long as I can remember, so I'd say we got it around 2004-2005.
