Well, like anything, how much do you want to spend? The top Netgear Nighhawk routers are awesome, but they cost more. Since you are asking, I assume you are looking for something in the middle, the best performance vs. price. If that is the case, as of the time of this posting, I would suggest you consider the Netgear R6250 model. Overall, any new Netgear router with the AC standard should be a nice improvement for you.

If you plan on staying with your cable provider for a while, maybe buying a cable modem makes sense (depending on what the monthly rent is...the N450 is approximately $100). Your options appear to be as follows: 1) Buy your own cable modem and stop renting. The N450 has a built-in router, so you wouldn't need to buy a router also (unless you're wanting to customize things. Your provider may not approve of doing that with their equipment.) 2) See if your provider has a standard modem that you don't have to rent. Then ask them if you can use your own router with their cable modem - if yes, pick up a cheap Netgear N300 for $50 and stop renting. 3) Keep renting.

Linksys is pretty good about providing capacity information in a chart-type format and the data will help you to decide. I'm in an older stone home and so I have a multitude of wifi routers and set them all up as bridges so the Verizon Fios router could do all of the dynamic addressing. I tried to partition the house and kept getting IP address conflicts--drove me crazy. Just bought an AC2400 and it does a great job handling all of the devices on our 3rd floor--from TV's to gaming consoles--and has great signal strength to boot.
