Classic What router Should i buy question

[Sinole]

I Decided to ditch the ISP router since spectrum is my provider now and they allow me to buy my own router. I want to go high end but i do not want to spend unnecessarily too much, I live alone and have few devices working with my internet at same time. most of the times only one. now speed wise  AC1900 is more than enough for me it has a 2GHZ Dual core CPU. but i want gaming latency to be as low as possible. I also have choice of AC 5400 which is twice as expensive but it has a 2.4 GHZ cpu. I dont know if the faster cpu will do anything for that only have one device connected at the time. do you think AC5400 is overkill and it is for multi users applications like a gaming network or it will improve single user gaming experience specially latency? flowing is the link to routers im considering.

Well, the best link would be a wired connection, but I am guessing you don't want to use a wire?  for the rest of the mobile devices I would think wireless n 300Mbps is more than fast enough, considering there are still many devices that use only 150Mbps wifi cards. So if that's an option for you to use wireless n and then use an ethernet cable for when downloading big files/many files or gaming, then you can get them very cheaply.

speed is really not an issue here. routers that have better processors have less latency. I dont really care about their gigabyte aspects. Although I have 300Mbps internet, I tried and  300 Mbps wifis. They do not deliver 300Mbps of internet speed. But i dont really care about speed if latency is below 10. 

 

need to correct myself. 300 mbps routers only deliver that speed through Ethernet.
