If I send something from my PC to my XBox..For example...I want it to get there as quickly as possible....A faster wireless router will make that happen...If I want to stream to my Chromecast, the same would hold true..I want it to get there as fast as possible..I understand that while I am transferring at 300, I am only going to get 25 from my internet..
Your Xbox and Chromecast are single band 2.4GHZ devices with single antennas. The maximum speed they are capable of is 75 Mbps regardless of the router you're using.

So, after all this talk, I need some recommendations for a new router. I currently have a 54g router to replace.
2000 sq ft house
Devices: all are 802.11n except my phone which has ac.
Dell Laptop, rarely used
Chromecast - normally streamed from macbook pro
Macbook Pro
Moto X
iPad 2
Epson Wireless Printer
50 Mbps down plan from Cox
Surfboard 6141
Main concern is good coverage throughout house. If I'll need an access point to do this, I've heard good things about the Ubiquitous Unify APs. I was also leaning to a single band router since I think 5 GHz would be useless for my needs.
Thoughts?
