I have a D-Link DIR-615, and my family is thinking about switching to FIOS Fiber Optics, and I wanted to know if we should upgrade our router or will it do us just fine? I play a lot of games online and I would really hate having lag. Plus we stream Netflix, so it could benefit us.

You definitely can, but it's hard to answer this question as D-Link in it's usual fashion put several different routers in the same box and called them all DIR-615. You can check it by verifying revision- there are units based on Ubicom, Atheros, Ralink and Realtek- all completely different yet all called DIR-615.
Quite a few of these revisions are supported by DD-WRT and OpenWRT in case you need an alternative to D-Link's own firmware.
I would test it with new connection, then give an alternative distro a chance and only then buy a new one if needed. -
Alright, thank you Dexter
Can I do better than DIR-615?
