Modem+Router combo

[OldFloyd]

Hey!
I just got my 600/120 fiber after years of pathethic 10/1 phone internet.

Sadly my internet provider gave me some weak nokia g-240w-f with only 2.4ghz wifi, so it bottleneck my wifi to 100/100 (i plug laptop via rj45 and got 580/115 with no problem, so it's 100% wifi fault).

I'm looking for modem and router combo with 5ghz wifi, that i can plug directly into wall-mount fiber socket (via optical cable? not sure).
I'm sure that my laptop (intel AC 9462 card) and ps4 slim can connect via 5ghz, also i know that 5ghz has lower range, but my desk where i sit with my laptop is like 5m from router, i just dont want a single cable, because pets will stumble over it.

Is ~100euro enough? Also I live in poland, so I'm looking for some worldwide mainstream brands that will be available in this shithole country.
Thanks!

There are carpets in my house :X

Not a single device will be connected to router via cable.

Ok, this is some weird shit, im noob when it comes to internet devices, but at least i learn something today.

I have optic socket NGO-12 and my modem needs photonic SC APC cable, looks like there are not that many modem + router combos with this feature, at least nothing is available in polsh online shops.
The best thing I can do is just mount a shelf there and put this nokia and 5ghz router there and connect them with rj45.

Sadly I have only one power plug near this NGO-12 socket, so I have work around it somehow.

Try the AVM Fritzbox series. No idea what they cost in Poland. Also note that 'wireless' is only interesting if you're the only one in a large area that uses it. If not, wired connections are much better, not only for speed but also for connectivity (wifi was designed for the common US walls, which are just timber, air and plaster. It doesn't like real walls like Europeans have, in stone, brick or concrete) and particularly for safety.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find ISP-approved ONT alternatives that will work with just a substitution of hardware. There are more options when it comes to cable, for example.

 

And the fact that your wired connection works well is evidence enough that you don’t need to replace the entire unit; you just need to offload the wireless access point features to another device which is directly wired to the ONT. This can be achieved with a wireless router that is configured in AP mode.

 

But seeing as your 2 devices are not very far from the ONT itself, running ethernet is going be far superior in terms of speed and reliability compared to using only wireless. The cables do not have to run in the path of traffic. They can be directed along the sides of walls or tacked along the edge of the ceiling.

This is my family house and I don't even live here, I just visit my parents for holidays, comfort is top tier priority so any wired connection to router is out of the discussion.
It's just for my dad so he can download games from steam on his laptop or play on ps4 and my mom to watch netflix.

After all this research about NGO-12 wall socket, SC APC photonic cable and shit, I will just buy some random TP-Link Archer C7, connect it with rj45 to this garbage nokia i got from ISP and call it a day.
I just thought I can but one device, screw it to the wall and that's all, instead I have to make little shelf for both of them and change wall power plug from 1 to 2 slots.

OK, that's probably your best option then. Best of luck!
