Possible router upgrade from a Verizon modem/router

[Frozo124]

At my house the Ethernet speeds are around 85 Mb down and up using Ethernet but when I connect via wifi the speeds are 20 up and 20 down. I want to move my desktop to another room but the speeds are too slow for my wireless card in my pc. Is this normal or do I need a better router and if so what router.
PS my sister watches Netflix while I play games so the router would have to handle that

Almost any router should be able to do more than 20m. It may not be the router it maybe the nic in your machine. You would want to test with your machine located very close to the router. If the router were really restricting you to 20m it would be a old 802.11g but I doubt any ISP provides those.

Even then it does no good to buy some fancy router with 100 antenna if your nic card is a old single band 802.11n. You may end up upgrading the router and your nic.

You may want to consider powerline network devices instead. I would not though buy less than the av500 based ones and if you can afford it but the 600/1200 models.
