Before we can really give you any direction we should know the money you are willing to spend. I would say it sounds like you might want a new router, but only if yours isn't 802.11ac at a minimum. Then I would buy a NAS. Synology seems to be a great option and you don't have to get a 4 or 5 disk model unless you think you will use it.

Connect the NAS wired to the router and you will be able to set up Time Machine and even be able to access those files remotely if you configure it that way. With Synology NAS, I think all of them support VPN Server too. This means when you are away you can access those files securely.

You don't need fiber either. I'm stuck down at 50/10Mbps now where I live. Fiber isn't even a dream for us here.
