Wireless AC at the minimum. Asus and Netgear are the two brands generally suggested.

Do take into account your ISP/connection parameters. You may be using DSL router and therefor using a DSL connection, so your new one also has to be DSL one.

I purchased the TP-Link AC1200 about a year ago and haven't had any issues with it. Perfect for VDSL connections, in my opinion.

That is correct. I looked at what you have, it does not have a Ethernet WAN port, which means you need what is called a gateway (Modem + Router in one box). DSL is a little tricky as you need to make sure it supports the type of DSL you have. 

 

I would highly suggest checking the website of your ISP and see if they have a supported device list. Or at least guide lines on what you need.
