My ping has slowly been getting worse and worse as months go by. I believe it’s the router that the ISP gave me giving out. I’m trying to look for a replacement but am unsure as to what will suit our needs so I’d like to ask here. I’ll give some details on what we do in my family:

I play a lot of video games, sometimes stream. I play fast-paced games like League of Legends and Hunt: Showdown and used to get 155ms but have watched it get higher and higher as months passed.

My sister also plays a lot of video games

My mom uses our Wi-Fi in her room across the house for work

We have a 150Mbps up and down fiber line and have a budget of R1300 for a new router. If anyone could suggest something as I’m not sure if there’s any specifics I need to keep in mind when looking at a router for our purposes. Thanks a lot!
