I would say both yes and no. Depends on if your the only one using your PS4 or xbox1 at the moment. Even the greatest of routers will be laggy if all of you are playing at once on the same router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately, whether this new router will help depends not only on what existing router you are using, but also the internet service you are paying for and the modem through which you are connecting to your internet service provider. We had a 100 Mbps cable modem with a 100+ Mbps plan, but our wireless router was old enough that it was limiting our bandwidth to 10 Mbps over wireless. (I previously used a wired connection to my main PC, so I hardly noticed on anything that mattered to me; then we moved, and being stuck with 10 Mbps became quite painful.) So upgrading to the router made a huge improvement to our enjoyment of the internet. For your situation, with four people utilizing a large amount of bandwidth, I worry that you might want to verify the details of your plan and the performance you think you should be getting before spending money on anything.
