If it's your ISP that has problem (congestion), then you might not need a router at all. You want to call your ISP and have it check which causes the slow speed. You might also want to check who's who are connected to your network and how much data do they consume.

A new router won't fix your speed issue. If you don't have enough speed from your ISP, investing in new router is just waste of your money. I suggest you to upgrade your internet speed first before investing money on a new router.
