What modem and router should i get?

[Macnch3eze]

Hey I was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions for what modem and router I should get. 

 

I am going to be in a 1200 sq ft apartment with "75mbps" down from Comcast.

I've always preferred the TP-Link Archer C7. It gives you wireless-AC, USB ports for NAS-like abilities, and a sleek look that isn't too flashy.

I'll second the Archer C7 for the Router. It's a great box. I recently picked one up for my Fiancees mother's internet, and it works great.

 

For the modem itself, I'm partial to Arris/Motorola, myself. Their modems have always been rock solid to me. I also really like the Thomson Modems too. I have the Thomson DCM476 I believe:

It's a bit older now, but it's rock solid.

 

Another great modem is the Arris SB6121:

There's a newer version out now too, the Arris SB6141:

The SB6141 appears to be cheaper than the older SB6121 too, which is a nice bonus.
