I have very poor internet connection. Is it still worth me getting on of these routers

Any router will be only as good as the internet connection.

    It depends what you mean by poor, if you mean that you have slow speeds but a lot of devices in the house so that local congestion occurs then yes it would definitely benefit you having the router. If you mean the connection has a high base ping to start with then a router can't solve that.

      If you have limited bandwidth but relatively stable ping, a Nighthawk Pro Gaming router could help you to reduce local congestion to improve the reliability of online games.
