Budget routers tend to not perform as well as more expensive ones. So if you go down the cheap route, there’s a chance that your gaming quality could be compromised. But then again, you should be able to game quite happily even at low internet speeds. It’s usually worth buying a budget router regardless if your internet plan isn’t super fast. If your plan is less than around 300 Mbps, a high performance router might turn out to be a waste of money.
