I need a new router (internet, not wood)

We are finally getting 21st century interwebz in the neighborhood. Right now I have a paltry 5/.5 speed with ATT. Saturday, Sharter Cable is coming to hook it up with 60/6. I prefer to buy my own router. Are any of you fine folks up to date on the newest tech. It does need to support Time Machine backups (Mac).

Is there anything to BeamForming or MU-MIMO Technology? Is the new Wireless-AC standard even necessary?

TIA.....

Budget is $150ish if I need to go that high.
