New Router

Hey, guys. Good day!

 

So I've noticed with my router that after a couple of days (at times even just 2 days), it starts to act up and gives off fainting signal. Then, I decided to buy a new one.

 

The thing is, I want to be able to stream HD videos (to be paired with an Apple TV), and at the same time, have consistent and good signal as I play a lot of online games such as DOTA 2, Hearthstone, Diablo 3, etc. 

 

What specific router brands and models do you guys suggest?

Oh, and my budget's around 100-150USD. But if you guys think that the extra money compensates for the quality that I'll get, based on the things I've stated above, then please do tell me :)

Thanks! :)

Another awesome wifi AC router is the Asus RT-AC68U, and it's a bit cheaper than the Linksys WRT1900AC.

sorry, noob question here. But, will this router be compatible with Apple's Air Play with the Apple TV? Thanks! :)
