Failing Routers causing problems

[Darkwolf441]

Ive a Asus RT-N56U router and when i first bought it i could use my phone in the garden. But after a couple of years and upgrading the virgin to its top speed.. ive nitice its struggling to keep up with the amount of things connected to it. Mobiles, tablets, printer. the wifi singnal is really poor now. and with the kids getting older i think its about time to upgrade to another asus one. (just personal preferance for asus) And recomendations please.

Not sure if its the router because ive tryed trying my phone in the garden when everyone was out. Doesnt happen very often. and it was still poor. Also i didnt put that theirs three gaming consoles and two pc conneted to the unit. would it be a god idea to have the virgin one used. (Diconnected at the moment as i used the asus.?
Would this one do the trick as my one doesnt have external antenna
