HELP! Which router is best to buy for gaming?

We are moving out of the city to the country where internet availability is low. We are going with Ayera Internet company that only offers 60 mbps download speeds and they do not supply a router. We have 2 teenage sons who both play XBOX, we also all have MAC/PC and iPhones, and we stream movies as well. The plan is to connect the XBOX's directly to the router but would need wifi for everything else. Our home is about 2500 sq ft. Which router or system would be best in our situation? Do we need a mesh system? Do we need a modem too (if so which one)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I would probably recommend the XR500 which you can opt for the extender bundle with it. The features will definitely ensure that with your lower speeds that everyone can use the internet without causing buffering/lag.
