Can I have two routers in my house? i try to play LoL and DOTA in my house but it runs so slow and i keep on having to reconnect because of loss of connection. i also try to use google chrome and when i search for something, it runs super slow and sometimes doesnt even load up. I then decided to go to my work(Tim Hortons) and everything ran fast and steady without losing connection at all. LoL ran beautifully without any issues. So i was wondering if i could just buy myself a new router just for playing LoL or DOTA or any other online games?

Should be possible. I have a secondary router set up just for older devices that can't use WPA2 encryption. Though you might be better off just replacing your existing router than using two at once. If you want to prioritise gaming traffic, there are QoS settings for that.
