Hello,

So I am moving out on my own and leaving my current wireless router with my parents. I was doing some research into a new dual band router and I started thinking of the speed. I don't do any type of file or video streaming within my apartment, only streaming from the internet. I am a big gamer and I don't have cable so I am always using Netflix, hulu, etc for TV. Do I really need more than say a 600-750Mbps dual band router? I was looking at the Nighthawk (1900 Mbps) router but seeing as my ISP provides up to 30Mbps it is really not needed. Am i correct in this?
