I want to install fibre HTTH uncapped 10 Mbps but am unsure which router to get. I'll be doing a lot of online gaming & video streaming on the pc and on DSTV.

Will the ZyXEL VMG8924-B10A router or the AC1750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router
Archer C7 be able to handle this efficiently? Or should i downgrade to a cheaper router?

Any advice will be helpful please?

Thank you.
 
10mb is pretty low throughput. In terms of hardware you're not going to find much that can't handle the speed.
If I were you though I'd be looking at whatever had the best QoS and bandwidth management.
 
Ditto on what Sinbad said. It's only when you want to do fancier things like creating VPN links into or out of your network that you need something beefy and as soon as you start thinking above 100Mb/s.
Most of the entry level routers you get packaged with fibre will not be able to handle anything above 2-300Mb/s on the fibre (i.e. not including wifi in this)
