I have an ARRIS docsis 3.0 modem and a constant connection of 50 Mbps...that is until I plug in my router. When plugged into my router it varies tremendously and never gets above 30 Mbps. My wireless is even worse averaging around 10 Mbps. Any ideas? Thanks.

$20 may be a bit on the low side...$25 or $30 may be more realistic but there are $20 routers. Really any 802.11n router will work fine. Most say they run 300m. I would try to avoid unknown brands but anything from tplink, netgear,asus,linksys and other larger companies will be fine.

It depends on the exact version number but you are talking about a router that is getting close to 15rs old. Think about how slow a pc was that many years ago.

That router is best used as a shelf decoration. Even a $20 modern router will likely outperform that.

A $20 router. I could go for that. Seriously, how much should I spend on a router. Other than my PC I have a VOIP that plugs in. I have a PS3 and PS4 that are close enough to plug into it. I don't really need wireless right now. If I did, it might be for the new Nintendo console or perhaps in the future steaming gameplay from my PC to the living room.
