I have a gigabit line on my home connection but the modem/router combo provided is pretty poor, but I have absolutely no idea on where to start.

 

Budget super low around $20-50

Is what I was looking at but reviews are iffy.

That router is meh, look for something with AC at least. And even then you probably won't get those speeds over Wifi, it'll just be closer (over 5GHz, obviously)

 

Also, you'll still be using your ISP's combo just as a modem, right?

Wireless speeds aren't important, I limit it currently to 5 down.

Yes will be using the combo as just a modem.

Yeah, then basically any router with Gigabit ports oughta do the job just fine

Would you still have a recommendation? Getting a signal outside would be nice.

An app would be great, but that's $50-60 over my budget.
