Recommendation for Router + Modem

Quelux · April 25, 2016

Hey guys, I am looking for a recommendation of a good router and modem or router and modem combo. As of now I am running only on the ISP provided combo and would like to upgrade. I have Verizon fios Internet (now being changed over to Frontier, but not an impact much) and am located in Florida, USA. My plan has fairly good speeds for both upload and download. My house is a single story ranch style and I live with a total of 5 other people and have about 2 devices at least per person. I am looking for a router with very good WiFi coverage that is able to penetrate multiple walls and at least a single concrete brick wall. Also I would like it to be dual band at least. Finally, I would like to spend no more than $250 USD if possible, but more if it is needed. I am fairly new to this stuff so I really need tons of settings and things that need changing and special features will mostly be lost on me. NAS Strorage capabilities are not needed also. Thank you guys and if you require any more info, feel free to ask.

For the fraction of the price you're willing to spend, this is a great product. I have used this for the last 4 years without a hitch. In fact, I get 100% connectivity through a concrete wall and then some. After the initial setup, little intervention was required.
