Bought new router for home use, might be over kill!!!

We keep having issues watching Netflix, Hulu or Amazon with our WIFI router. In researching for a new Router I may have bought more hardware than I need. Since we live in a 3 story house, not counting the basement, I thought about hooking up two WIFI routers to a single Router via ethernet cable. I wanted gigabit ethernet with a robust back plane. So I convinced my wife that we should buy this:

Cisco 890 Integrated Services Routers

Now the online streaming will continue to work even if both WIFI routers stop working. Our TV and X-Box One are both hardwired into our network. It was only $350 on Amazon and new WIFI routers can cost at least $250.

Am I nuts for buying this??? Smilie
