I need a wireless router for our church and we have round 70 to 100 people connecting to it and 6 computers hardwired in using a network switch and live stream so I need something fairly powerful. The one we have now is round 5 to 7 years old and it can't keep up. We have enough bandwidth to carry the load cause we just upped it. I'm open to suggestions.

90 to 100 devices connected is not usually a single WIFI source. For good performance you probably should use three WIFI sources (channel 1, 6, 11). Get three Ubiquiti or Engenius "smoke detector" style power over ethernet (POE) access points. Put them in a large triangle formation covering the area. You can give them all the same SSID.

Do you want to segregate the wireless "congregation" devices from the wired computers? (I think the answer should be yes) ...
