I probably won't play next season if I have to timeout every time I play so I guess its time to upgrade my internet. I don't really know much about networking so I might sound like an idiot(as always).
There are 6 people that live in my house, there are times where we all use the internet. I want to be able to have 60-120 ping with no disconnects while the rest of my family is doing there thing on there devices(which is usually looking at memes on there phones and watching porn).
I want a dual broadband AC router, ether-net ports doesn't really matter because none of us use the ether-net. I have a lot of room to spend at 300$.

ASUS RT-N66U
dual band router, that costs a little over 100 dollars. It is fantastic.

I second the Nighthawk router. I've heard good things about it.
But before you upgrade your router, you need to know where the bottleneck in your network is. If it's your router, then go ahead and upgrade. If it's your internet itself that can't handle the strain of everyone in your family using it, then getting a new router isn't going to help much.
Check your internet plan, and see what kind of bandwidth you get. If it's the same or less than that of your router, then upgrading won't do you much good.

Currently have this one at my house, we have 2 people streaming at once through it and it handles it seamlessly.

The only technology right now that can give you low latency while your shared connection is saturated with torrents and memes is something called fq_codel. I was at a small LAN party where we shared a 20/1 connection with 8 people. All gaming, torrenting and watching streams without lag thanks to a fq_codel based router.
You'll need a router where you can install DD-WRT or OpenWRT on, TP Link TL-WDR3600 (cheap, N, not AC) or the Archer C7 for example. Enable QoS, use an ethernet cable.

The Nighthawk router will support DD-WRT if you were interested in playing around with fq_codel.
It's available for 177.69 on Amazon
Or, you can get it with DD-WRT pre-installed for 349.95

You say you don't run any ethernet connections but if you want good results you should go hardwired unless you absolutely cant. A longass ethernet cable could very well do you more good than a new router.

Believe me, I know. I used to have an ether-net connection but my parents took it out because they thought it wasn't looking good with my new room with the wire sticking out and they also thought it was unfair to the rest of my family that I was getting priority internet when they need it for more important things.
