    The XR300/450/500 may be within your price range, they will allow you to eliminate any lag/buffering you experience to make the game perform a lot better. The Geo-Filter feature will also allow you to force the closest possible servers, further increasing the connection quality.

    Disclaimer you are posting in the section for the XR routers so that is what I would be recommending.
