Best router+modem combo (or seperate) for good price

[moisty]

I just need something that isn't provided by my ISP haha

 

I've been using the ISP provided router for too long and I need something a lot better, but isn't over kill (like quad band routers)

For your "modem" grab a surfboard sb6141 http://www.amazon.com/ARRIS-SURFboard-SB6141-DOCSIS-Cable/dp/B00AJHDZSI 

 

For your router and wireless grab an AC66U http://www.amazon.com/RT-AC66U-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC1750-Gigabit-Router/dp/B008ABOJKS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1453154049&sr=1-1&keywords=ac66u

While I always support grabbing that combo for most homes, he also said his "modem."

Depends on your setup.

 

Your internet will only go as fast as what you pay for.

 

 

I would recommend getting separate units for router and modem.

 

If you pay for high bandwidth, spend more on modem.  If you want good wifi speeds/range, spend more on router.

 

Since you are already set up with your ISP router/modem, I would just wait around for a good deal to pop up on a motorola/arris surfboard modem (these happen quite frequently, ~$60 or less for a doscis 3.0 modem)

 

Then spend whatever budget you have left on a router.  I would try to look for a sale on Asus AC68U.   It's the free one that T-mobile gives out so its very popular, has a lot of 3rd party support for custom firmware, etc.  If you have T-mobile, its just a $25 deposit, if not, there are often sales for ~$150.
