If the internet service/modem is not great, even the best router will not help. I agree with FURRYe38 though, the RAX's are good and in a small place you don't want to oversaturate your wi-fi signal with a setup that overwhelms the signal.

Just FYI, that Mfr seems to be under scrutiny for nefarious things they seem to be doing.
Good luck with that.
