E2000 finally kicked the bucket. 30/30/30 doesn't even work so guess it's time to replace it. Hoping to stay around $100 with same feature set at a minimum so I can still stream and work. Any suggestions?

That router is so old almost any router you find will be that fast. I would not go really cheap though. I would get at a minimum a router that claims 1200 speed. Many from the larger name brands can be had for the $50 range.

Routers with larger numbers are not necessarily better or faster. 1/2 the connection is your end devices. Your end device for example would have to have 4 antenna to support 600mbps on the 2.4g channel. Most end devices only have 2 so they are limited to 300. Not that you will get anywhere close to either of those numbers.

You need to consider your end devices ability when you select a router. Only you know if the extra expense is justified.

Although it may not matter your current router...

Although it may not matter your current router has gigabit lan and wan connections you likely should buy a new router with those. It mostly depends on how fast you internet connection is.
