Need a router. Dont know anything about them.

So its pretty much a basic replacement for my router, I'd like to spend as little as possible.

My current router is from like 2007 and drops signals like crazy and doesnt even support my max speeds though i doubt i'd get it anyway even if it did. And no theres no crowded channel issues or anything it just straight isnt working good anymore

So I dont need anything special besides 4-5 ethernet ports. I only have 60/5 speeds so literally everything can support that im sure. If QoS is available that'd be good but not needed.

Thanks for any input.

I think this router on newegg would suit you.

It has 4 ethernet ports, 150 mbps of max speed, and other nice features for only $15.

Sorry forgot to mention that there is quite a lot of wireless traffic. Theres typically 2-3 devices streaming at all times + any additionals. Would this be able to handle heavy traffic?

Do you live with other people? If that's the case then you'll probably have to get a slightly better one. How fast is your internet? 100mbps? 500mbps? 1gbps? The only parts that really matter are the ethernet ports, the max speed and the output types.

if you go cheap your going to have the same issues. with wifi routers with a lot of devices using them if there not built well you get heat issues. look for ones with ram for cache and newer n300 or faster speed. if you can look for one with both the 2.4 and 5g speeds.
