What is the best router to buy for watching netflix on tv in living room and searching web on kindle in bedroom? Main computer in bedroom. Wifi would be hooked up to it in bedroom. It is just husband and I in home and we are empty nesters. Would like to eventually buy wii fit.

I would look for something well off the cheapest ones, which will have poor antennas and low signal strength.
I have one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... and it has worked quite well. My wife and I probably have a similar arrangement to you, although it is Youtube videos my wife watches, not Netflix.

If this is out of your price range, go one of the slightly slower AC model.

In order of performance/price.

Netgear are OK, but their radios lack range/power due to antennas being internal.
D-Link had good ones but latest have dropped off.
Belkin, HA HA !

If you want the ultimate and don't care about price

Performance also depends on what radio is your client PC.
