Well if your router is a pre N routers, then an almost any upgrade to an N router will benefit. If you have a lot of electronics I would suggest a dual band router. Depending on how many things are going on (streaming on multiple computers/tvs at the same time, video gaming) then a higher end router makes quite a big difference. Right now, performance wise, I trust Cisco, Netgear, and Asus, though D-Link has always been pretty good. Some cheaper dual bands http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Wirele...7468684&sr=8-1

Though they might be a little out of your range...

If you want a single band... http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-E1200-Li...7469156&sr=8-5
http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-...469156&sr=8-10

If you don't mind refurbished. Although I've had many issue with refurbished routers before... http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-...7469446&sr=1-3
