It's a 3 bedroom apartment using Time Warner. One bedroom is upstairs (its a small apartment), the other two right next to each other with a very small living room which is where the router would be located. Two rooms have Xbox 360s. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video usually and some Call of Duty. 3 laptops, not always used at the same time but could be. Right now the modem is a Time Warner box with Wifi built in. I feel like it can't support the heavy amount of streaming we do but I have no clue what would fit.
I have a netgear nighthawk R7000 and I even get into it from outside our condo about a half a block away, besides that it is rated pretty high. Top 10 Best Routers Comparison & Reviews.
It's really easy to overbuy a router. If you have all 802.11n devices, it may not be in your best interest to purchase an 802.11ac router unless you plan on upgrading to ac devices soon. Your xbox360 is either 802.11g or 802.11n depending on which revision it is.
The router that Mr.Lee recommended is a good router, but older technology. If you're going to spend that kind of money, you might as well get newer technology. Netgear has chosen to go with their proprietary solution rather than use the new standards. As a result, the greatest benefit will be with devices that use Netgear wireless cards.
