New Router

Hi, guys and gals. I am in need of a new router but I don't know too much about them. My current one has just quit on me. My parents and I all have a cell phone (don't use them too much), my Dad has a tablet, and I have a desktop PC (which is mainly used for browsing the web and YouTube) and an Xbox One. I don't do any PC gaming but I play my Xbox One a few nights a week for a few hours. My Internet speeds are 15 mbps down and 1 mbps up, if that makes a difference. I live in the United States and my budget cap is about $100.

CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K @ 3.3 GHZ GPU: MSI GTX 980 OCV1 4GB RAM: Avexir Core Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 PSU: Cougar SL600 600W Mobo: MSI X99A SLI PLUS ATX LGA2011-3 Case: Rosewill Stryker M Mid Tower Storage: ADATA 240GB SSD, Toshiba 3 TB 7200 RPM HDD

No, I have the ISP provided modem but they didn't provide a router (Time Warner Cable). I currently have a Belkin N600DB but I've had nothing with problems with it and it has finally quit.

Asus RT-N66U. It will not disappoint you. With its giant heat sink, you can be guaranteed that after months filled with many gaming nights, that this router is not going to overheat and just won't give up even after extensive benchmarks.

It's pretty cheap too and I'm sure the U.S has it a lot cheaper than Europe (last time I checked Amazon at least).
