Maybe try an open source router, they work nicely.

"Gaming" routers are expensive because of their marketing and brands,

Hope this Helps.

A non-"gaming" one.

There's nothing special about gaming ones apart from marketing designed to rise the price, so if you want cheap definitely look for one without the gaming tax.

As a person with a gaming router, most of what they do is decrease ping by 1 or 2 ms and have overpriced brands. I know this because the gaming mode is togglable on my router.

 

If you want the best experience, you don't need a fancy router at all, just use ethernet. And if you can't, get a decent router instead and sit as close to it as possible.

 

What's your budget?

Do you have any specific requirements for your router except low latency?
