I have DSL connection in my house and I'm looking to upgrade it. I have been using my modem for 9 years now and I think I can utilize my internet speed better, Also, I'm looking into putting a new router in the house; my house is two floors 180sq/m

You didn't provide much info, such as a question, in the first post. What service are you looking to upgrade to? Cable? If so, what provider? What kind of router do you need?

This^

 

You simply need a modem and router capable of the speed you receive from your provider. Most will list compatible hardware on their website, or the specs of what's required

Why a router and modem, why not all in one box. 

Don't recommend those. They're often shit quality and have very limited configuration abilities.

What are you upgrading to, I don't know where you live or what packages are available.

What is your house like, thick walls, thin walls.

Oh! sorry for that. I didn't know about all that, my bad. I live in Saudi Arabia and my supposed internet speed is 20mbps and I only see 4, I changed the cables to Cat 6 and nothing happened, and there is only one ISP and their customer service makes Comcast look like saints,

the walls are thick, it is a concrete building.

I have modem router combo and it is not that good

My mistake, I apologize. the router that I need is able to provide signal to the entire house if possible
