not much. 25 MB/s isn't really that blazing. You don't need anything expensive. Most WIFI can keep up with that. You are limited on internet speed by your modem speed- which you plug into the router. (think of it as a main power supply split into multiple supplies- thats a router). Connection between devices on hard cable are around 110-112 MB/s (what I see for transferring between PC GB file sizes on ethernet) well under what the internet service is providing. So just get what your budget can afford. Where you break into a different price category is WIFI speed. There all sorts of speeds and connectivity types 802.11 (n),(g),(AC). It's normally broken down to 2.4 gz and 5 ghz and both are good in case one frequency is saturated in your area. But as far as basic router principles, you don't have to spend much.
What's your plan? WIFI gaming? PC to PC transfer? Setting up a NAS? using a game console? Home automation? Media server? Streaming video?
