You'll need to bridge the D-Link modem so it's a modem only with any router you decide to connect to it. You can try out the XR500 and see if it works well for you. It should.

Given your bandwidth speeds you're very susceptible to local congestion/lag which the XR could definitely eliminate.

Hey
Thank ya'll for the comments.
I decided to take the chance and ordered the Router from NewEgg to my Country
I hope the proccess will be easy and will work and solve my issues (making my dlink a bridge and connect it to the XR)
