Router vs DSL Speed

[sybaris]

I am considering purchasing two Asus RT-AC68U WIFI units (1900 Mbps, 802.11AC (1300Mbps over 5G) + 802.11N(600Mbps over 2.4G)....... using one as a bridge for my TV to take full advantage of the streaming capacity at both frequencies.

I don't know much about WIFI and networking so I have a question, if my DSL is only pumping out a fraction of what the 68U is capable of and I'm only going to use it to stream to one TV why would I want the 68U and not something closer (and cheaper) to what my DSL is capable of?

thanks

The speed of the router (eg 1900 Mbps) refers to it's maximum wireless transfer speed from PC to PC through your home wireless network, nothing to do with your internet DSL speed or bandwidth.
