A friend has that one and loves it. Just be sure to get the version 2 model. It will say so on the package as v2. I think the 200NAS is version 2. This one should be plenty fast.

Just a guess that you are in a rural area. If so WiFi interference shouldn't be an issue. 802.11 is the standard for WiFi. There will normally be a letter or letters following the (.11) that indicates the version of the standard. AC is now the most common with AD and AX being the newest.

802.11 Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11 Don't get too deep into this.

 

Unless you are doing heavy gaming you can let your budget guide you on this. Most routers now are dual band and will say so on the package. I would recommend one that has Gigabit Ethernet such as R6050 or R6220. Both are inexpensive but there are many others at higher prices.
