Budget router recommendation - Canada

[Luis_V]

Hi all,

 

I'm living in Canada and I have a Shaw BlueCurve plan that comes with the modem/router. Browsing the internet is inconsistent and playing game is quite hard. Counter-strike is lagging a lot  if a few people start using the internet at the same time.
The connection is awesome right next to it (600 Mbps) but in the office it drops to ~15Mbps in a smartphone. Plus, the internet provider installed the cable right on the corner, making the placement of the router a little more challenging. Currently, it is positioned right next to the cable, but I intend on moving it more towards the center of the house. In addition, I wanted to buy a dedicated router which should solve my problem. I attached a quick draft of my house.

 

I am on a budget, so I would like to spend less than CAD 150. If someone convince me, I might think of going up to CAD 200. This is my list so far. Any suggestions?

#1 - Tp-Link AC2600 (Archer A10) - Amazon link

#2 - Netgear R6400-100CNS (AC1750) - Amazon link

I have the TP-Link and it works great.
